Al-Thawra: Syria to buy 5 thousand tons Apples from occupied Syrian Golan farmers

Deputy Governor of southern Syrian city of Qunaitera Nadim Merza said Syria had decided to buy apples from the farmers of the occupied Syrian Golan to contribute to easing their suffering as the Israeli occupation imposes siege on their products.

Al-Thawra Daily reported early this week that a number of trucks loaded with apples crossed into the liberated city Qunaitera on Monday with the help of the International Red Cross.

The report added that more than 5 thousands tons of apples are expected to enter the Syrian markets gradually.

The move comes in the framework of President Bashar al-Assads directives "to support our people in Golan who are still adhere to the Syrian identity and reject Israeli bids to judaize the Syrian Golan," Merza added.
