@khaleejtimesofficial: Syrian singer Assala Nasri makes a triumphant comeback to Damascus in a sold-out concert after 15 years of exile due to her opposition to ousted ruler Bashar al-Assad. "This is the Syria we know, and this is the Syria that will remain," says Farah al-Atassi, political advisor to the Syrian government. "Music and culture are an inseparable part of the Syrian identity." source: AFP
