In an interview published on Monday, Ramzy highlighted the harmony of the Syrian society which set an example for diversity and coexistence, adding that preserving this harmony serves stability and the interests of all countries in the world.
He noted that the whole world has realized that Syria is not isolated and it constitutes a central state in the Middle East, indicating that the repercussions of events taking place in the country will affect wide parts of the world.
Ramzy said that the Syrian people alone have the right to determine their country’s destiny, hailing the Syrians’ adherence to the unity of their land and preserving it.
