Tourism Minister meets Irish delegation

Damascus, SANA – Tourism Minister Bishr Yazigi on Sunday met an Irish delegation headed by Declan Hayes, affirming to them that Syria has been subjected to media and economic terrorism during the war that has been targeting it for six years with the aim of distorting facts and affecting its people.

For his part, Hayes said that the visit aims at learning about what is really happening in Syria, noting that Syria may have paid a high price, but its people will rebuild it more beautiful than before.
