New Jersey, SANA The Syrians are committed to\u00a0their land and no one will be able to displace them, as they will remain in the land of\u00a0their ancestors, Mar Ignatius Aphrem II, Patriarch of Antioch and All the East and Supreme\u00a0Leader of the Syriac Orthodox Church said during the opening ceremony of Mar Aphrem\u00a0Syriac Center in the US city of New Jersey on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Patriarch Aphrem II told SANA Correspondent that\u00a0the Syrian people will triumph over the global conspiracy targeting their homeland.\"Afram2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He stressed the importance of the Syriac Church\u00a0for the members of the Syrian community in the US and Europe as a center for raising\u00a0awareness about what Syria is facing and in facing the bulk of the media falsifications.<\/p>\n

Mar Aphrem Syriac Center in the US and Europe is\u00a0the first of its kind. It includes a small church under the name St. Syriac Mar Aphrem,\u00a0a patriarchal office, a headquarters for the Bishop of the Diocese, offices for the\u00a0Institutions, centers for teaching the Syriac language and religious sciences in addition\u00a0to a paper and electronic libraries and a museum of Icons and manuscripts.<\/p>\n

The opening of the center in New Jersey aims at\u00a0deepening ties among all the Syrians abroad and the Patriarchate in Damascus, the\u00a0Patriarch confirmed.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the Patriarchate will open\u00a0other offices in Europe, India and Latin America, wishing that security and peace will\u00a0prevail in Syria and the region which are suffering due to the attacks of the armed\u00a0terrorist organizations.\"Afram1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For his part, member of the Syrian-American Forum\u00a0Ghaiyath Moussa stressed that the center proves Syrians capability of being united in a\u00a0civilized way and express their opinions clearly as they believe that Syria, their\u00a0motherland, will remain despite of all the terrorist organizations attempts of killing and\u00a0displacing them.<\/p>\n

Participants in the opening ceremony stressed that\u00a0the opening of the center reflects Syrian expatriates’ commitment to their homeland.<\/p>\n

The center will open its doors for all those who\u00a0want to get acquainted with the Syriac Church, learn its language and work to spread it\u00a0in the US and the American Continent.<\/p>\n

Syria is the only country in the world which\u00a0includes the largest number of the Aramaic \/Syriac\/ spoken natives, the language of Jesus.\u00a0They reside in the villages of Maaloula, al-Sarkha and Jaba’din in the countryside of\u00a0Damascus.<\/p>\n
