Our operations manager, Mark, is in Damascus at the time and listened to the speech of President Bashar Al Assad today ...
'everyone here in Damascus listened to president's speech - he was on the radio on the Aleppo bus, taxi, and people were just sitting in the small cafes near the Al Haramain watch on TV in the street. People were all applause and cheers at the end of the various comments.
The speech was certainly welcomed in the heart of the President of Damascus , but I think time will tell how it goes in other cities as Dera ' a and Latakia, where most of the opposition is. It is quite surprising almost carnival attitude among the crowds in Damascus with hooting cars and flying flags car windows.
I did not feel in any way threatened by anyone during my trip to Syria - all the opposite in fact. Yesterday in Aleppo while seeking new card tachographs to our truck, I crossed the main demonstration area several times people marched with their flags and banners and they were willing to talk to me and say hello and ask what me and the people of the west think Syria and President Bashar . But always very friendly "
