‏Young Harot, as the locals of Qamishli city called him, narrated his trip to Qamishli as it was full of fear of terrorism which dominated the city of Raqqa, he stopped his study at the Faculty of Economics, Harot decided to open an institute for teaching music, hoping that the sound of music would overcome the sound of destruction which the international terrorism has brought to the Syrian lands.

Harot told SANA reporter that he is unable to describe the difficulties he has faced after Daesh terrorist organization has controlled his city of Raqqa when he was obliged to hide in al-Rafea village in Raqqa countryside and later he was able to arrive in Qamishli with the help of some friends after nine months of staying in a city whose title has become “death”.

He hailed the amity feelings and the cultural texture that bring the locals of Qamishli city together which was a move to continue his musical project.
