00:19:39In fact, we welcome the President and the accompanying delegation.
00:19:43And this is a confirmation of the strength and solidity of
00:19:47the relationship between Iraq and Syria. And God willing,
00:19:50this will be a good start for future and strategic projects,

00:20:14warm reception, and we see your hearts
00:20:18embraced us before your eyes. Geography says
00:20:22the neighbor is the closest home, but wisdom
00:20:25says the closest blood. And God willing, the blood
00:20:28of Iraq and the blood of Syria is one blood, and perhaps our blood
00:20:31is two, and more, because we have shed a lot of blood.
00:20:35We and you, God willing, are one people
00:20:38living in two countries. We want to revive our history,

00:22:18Syria is one, united. The Syrian people, with all
00:22:21their components, are one.
00:22:36Today is a literal translation of a real
00:22:39start to a project that was agreed upon with the
00:22:41European Union
00:22:47in order for work to be done on applying
00:22:51this system related to disaster risk reduction.

00:25:32Welcome to The Syrian Story podcast on the Syrian
00:25:35News Channel.
00:25:39The most painful
00:25:41thing for me was when someone told me, "Stop the barrel bomb, then talk to me
00:25:45about freedom." There should have been a provisional government, a military
00:25:49council, a judicial council. No one is smarter than the people. The people
00:25:53turned out to be smarter than the word on the basis that my family knew
00:25:56I was dead, so they organized a condolences visit for me. A visit that destroyed
00:25:59after 20 years to prepare for the topic.
00:26:10By God, I don't know what we're going to do with ourselves. I expected the revolution to come from Hasakah, I
00:26:13apologize if in this episode today
00:26:16we are going to revisit the tragic memories, the stories.
00:26:20We wanted to convey the pains of Syrians,
