We would like also to update you about the political situation in Syria , last August we changed the date of the festival from September to May 1, 2012 to give chance to see how will be developed the situation in Syria , to be sure to not have any Danger situation for the visitor , after 11 month , Aleppo and Damascus still quiet with normal life , and there is no any mark in the society to future movement in those city’s , Aleppo still calm and relax , most of the problems focused in the middle of Syria , which its far from Aleppo.
