Syrian President on the New Middle East

On December 25, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad participated in Christmas celebrations in Damascus, and said that the purpose of the New Middle East and the New World was to split the world into clashing factions and ideologies within the framework of redrawing the map of the world, dividing it to serve the new imperialism. Al-Assad added that Syria had important power not found in many countries, because Syrians are united politically, religiously, and culturally.
