A Syrian Catholic archbishop has said that American president-elect Donald Trump could help bring peace to the country if he can form an agreement with Russia.
Archbishop Jean Abdo Arbach, who heads the Melkite Catholic Archdiocese of Homs, said that if foreign involvement in the fighting in Syria can be stopped, “the future of [President Bashar] Al-Assad will be decided by his people.”
The archbishop told an interviewer that the situation facing Christians in Syria is disastrous. He reported that “there were 1.5 million Christians in Syrian before the war and now there are only 600,000: less than half.” In the city of Aleppo, he said, the Christian population has dropped from 200,000 to under 30,000.

The only way to secure peace is through victory.
