During his speech, Chargé d’Affaires of Syrian Embassy in Lebanon said that ‘in spite of years of embargo and unilateral coercive measures imposed on Syria, yet, since the first moments followed the quake, the government with all its institutions mobilized all capabilities to confront repercussions of the earthquake, as the Syrians showed, with their determination, a wonderful solidarity in this crisis.
