Syrians Held Final Friday Prayer at Umayyad Mosque Before Restoration

 

The historic Umayyad Mosque in Damascus hosted its final Friday prayer before undergoing restoration, drawing a large crowd of Syrians. The mosque, a symbol of restricted worship during Syria’s 61-year Baath regime, saw hundreds gather to pray and capture memorable photos before its temporary closure.

Following the prayer, a group gathered outside the mosque to denounce the PKK and YPG terrorist organizations. Carrying banners reading, “The PKK-YPG terrorist organization is separatist. Leave Syria,” the crowd chanted anti-terror slogans.

A resident from Manbij speaking for the group declared, “We want the PKK and YPG removed from northern Syria. They are enemies of religion and do not represent the people. If politics fails, we are ready to fight to expel them.”
