Members of a Russian delegation including social, media, political and cultural figures affirmed that they witnessed ruing their visit to Syria the country's security, stability, national unity and the strength of its social fabric. During their visit to an army unit in Tartous governorate, members of the delegation pointed out that the situation in Syria is different from what some Arab and foreign mass media are claiming, stressing that the Syrian people are strong and united and that they love their country and their leader. They pointed out that their visit to Syria aims to show solidarity in the face of the conspiracy targeting its sovereignty and independent decision-making, and that they will relay the truth of what is happening in Syria and confront media misdirection undertaken by some Arab and foreign mass media. The delegation members said that the Syrian people managed to overcome this crisis through its awareness, hoping that Syria will remain free and that its relations with Syria will develop further. They also noted that their visit changed their preconceptions and showed the truth about the vicious attack against the Syrian people. The delegation also paid their respects to the family of martyr Nidal Jannoud who was murdered by armed terrorist groups in Banyas, offering symbolic gifts to them. After laying a wreath on the martyr's grave, members of the delegation were informed of how Jannoud was martyred in the line of duty and how his body was mutilated. The delegation members stressed that armed terrorist groups who murdered Jannoud don't belong to the Syrian people or any religion, and that the Syrian army is the one who protects the Syrian people. For her part, Siham Barhoum, wife of martyr Jannoud, thanked the delegation for their visit, saying it constitutes moral and psychological support especially since it comes from a friendly country that supports Syria during its hard times, adding that she recently gave birth to a son whom she named after his father.
