Urgent Appeal to the Greek Ambassador in Damascus
Once again, the Greek Levantine town of Al-Suqaylabiyah is under threat. After groups from nearby areas reportedly entered the town and harassed residents, locals expelled them in self-defense. Now, new threats are being made to return with weapons.
We urge the Greek Embassy in Damascus and the Greek government to closely monitor the situation and intervene diplomatically to help prevent violence against one of Syria’s historic Greek Orthodox communities.
Once again, Al-Suqaylabiyah finds itself facing danger. The world must not wait for another tragedy before paying attention.
