Syria joined St. George Ribbon campaign for the first time, RIA Novosti informs. Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria together with the National Union of Syrian Students organized the event.  

The campaign was kicked off in the Damascus University. The students from the Russian language department handed out more than 1,5 thousand ribbons for just a half an hour. Young people distributed an information leaflet in Arabic together with each black-and-orange ribbon explaining the importance of the Great Victory symbol to our country.

Within several coming days the campaign will take part in two more Syrian cities – Aleppo and Latakia. 

Organizers have noted that there is huge interest to Russia in Syria and friendly attitude to Russians is evident among the local population and can be seen even at the city streets.
