DID Press: Ahmad Al-Shar’, head of Syria’s current government, stated after Eid al-Fitr prayers at the People’s Palace in Damascus that the country is taking cautious steps to remain distant from ongoing regional conflicts.

“We are witnessing an unprecedented event in history… Syria is proceeding carefully to avoid involvement in any hostilities,” Al-Shar’ said.
