| | Syria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Syria is significant in the history of Christianity; Paul was converted on the road to Damascus and established the first organized Christian Church at Antioch in ancient Syria, from which he left on many of his missionary journeys. | | | Syria's political instability during the years after the 1954 coup, the parallelism of Syrian and Egyptian policies, and the appeal of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser's leadership in the wake of the 1956 Suez crisis created support in Syria for union with Egypt. | | | However, Syria opposed the Iraq war in March 2003, and bilateral relations with the U.S. swiftly deteriorated. |

| | This means that the Christians in Melitene and Syria must have been extremely numerous, otherwise the emperor would never have met revolutionary outbreaks (which, in Syria, and, one may conjecture, in Melitene also, originated with the army) with edicts against the Christian clergy. | | | From Antioch it spread to the various cities and provinces of Syria, among the Hellenistic Syrians as well as among the Hellenistic Jews who, as a result of the great rebellions against the Romans in A. 70 and 130, were driven out from Jerusalem and Palestine into Syria. | | | As to Phœnicia, one of the most important provinces of Syria, the history of Christianity there is also obscure. |

| | In Syria, it is important to note first that the government that is supposedly in place at the current time is a republic. | | | While democratic by name and superficially democratic, Syria's government is one of the first places to look in the country when discussing social inequalities. | | | It says: “The Government (of Syria) strictly controls dissemination of information and permits no written or individual criticism of the President, the President's family, the Ba’th Party, the military, or the legitimacy of the regime. |

| | We have seen that Syria, Esh-Sham, is but ‘the north’ end of the Semitic world, and that from the earliest times her population has been essentially Semitic. | | | Thus Syria history has been a land in which history has very largely repeated itself; and if we believe that history never repeats, without explaining, itself, we shall see the value of all these invasions from Asia, Africa, and Europe for illustrating that part of Syrian history which is more especially our interest. | | | This is so broken up by mountain range and valley that it has never all been brought under one native government; yet its well-defined boundaries-the sea on the west, Mount Taurus on the north, and the desert to east and south—give it unity, and separate it from the rest of the world. |
