Patriarch Laham: There can be no world peace without Syria

Homs, SANA – Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch of Antioch and All East Gregory III Laham said that the world’s Christians support the Syrian people, and that there can be no world peace without Syria which will remain a land of coexistence.

Presiding upon prayers held in St. Elias Church in Rableh village, which is located in al-Qseir countryside in Homs province, the Patriarch said that Homs province had suffered much during the past few years, but it managed to recover thanks to the efforts of its people and their unity.

Laham stressed the need to restore security and stability to Syria and to return abductees and displaced people to it.

The services were attended by a delegation of Lebanese figures including MPs Mahmoud Qammati and Marwan Fares.

The Patriarch also visited the town of al-Qseri and the villages of al-Dmaina and al-Hamra, meeting locals in a number of churches.
