Damascus, (SANA) President Bashar al-Assad affirmed Wednesday that the state is going ahead with combating terrorism and the terrorists who have forced citizens out of their houses and perpetrated hideous crimes against them.
The President's affirmation came during inspecting the situation of displaced people at al-Dweir makeshift center in Adra, Damascus Countryside.
President al-Assad toured places where the displaced families are staying and listened to their needs and conditions of their stay.
He stressed that the state continues providing basic requirements of the displaced families until everybody returns home whether those in Adra or in any other place.
President Assad Tours Shelters for Displaced outside Damascus
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad made on Wednesday a rare trip outside the capital to meet people displaced by the country's three-year-old crisis.
"President Assad is inspecting conditions for the displaced in Damascus province," state television said.
"President Assad is touring shelters for the displaced... and listening to their needs," it added.
The official SANA news agency said Assad was visiting people in Adra, northeast of the capital.
The town is considered a strategic gateway to Damascus and has seen frequent clashes between the army and the insurgents.
Assad rarely makes public appearances and most of those have been within the confines of the capital.
He was last reported at a public event in January, when he attended prayers at a Damascus mosque.
Assad is expected to seek a new term in a presidential election planned for the middle of the year.
