Can I get further clarification on that? Of course, there is a great deal of historic harmony among the various ethnic and religious groups in Syria, including the Damascus area, and you referenced Ghouta.
I wonder whether the point you're making is that, despite the recent crisis and everything that has transpired in Syria since March 2011, the relationship of harmony and those positive relationships still exist. As we've seen throughout history, not just in the Middle East but in many other conflicts and emergency situations in particular, when bloodshed is ongoing, it's in those moments that relations between people who were once neighbours and friends can turn quite ugly. Are you hopeful that, despite everything that is going on, things seem to be on a steady footing?
