Father Spiridon Tanous, representative of the Genuine Greek Orthodox Church in Syria, has issued a strongly worded statement and warning to relevant international and diplomatic bodies. According to reports, the statement was transmitted through diplomatic channels, warning that the Christian presence in Syria is now on the verge of total collapse.
The statement notes that not a week goes by without serious violations—including kidnappings, ransom demands, attempted murders, and the intimidation of Christians—all occurring while the Syrian security apparatus looks on. Furthermore, all attempts to engage with the authorities of the interim Syrian government have proven unsuccessful.
The statement can be found on Father Tanous’s page on X (formerly Twitter).
