Syria adopts dialogue culture: grand mufti

Syria's Grand Mufti, Sheikh Ahmad Badr Eden Hassoun on Tuesday underlined the importance of adopting dialogue culture and opinion of the others to bring up educated humans in Syria, adding that the human is the focus of heavenly religions.

"Syria was one of many countries that suffered from terror... so it is very necessary to define terrorism internationally as Syria has called to do so since the eighties of the last century," Sheikh Hassoun said in a meeting with economic and political consultants of Germany, Britain and Netherlands' embassies, Envoy of Archbishop of British Canterbury and a Representative of the European Commission in Damascus. "Work now is underway to amend the criminal law and family in Syria.. it is a gradual process that adopts a study of society needs and dialogue with citizens," the Mufti added.
