A first of its kind, the show is a platform for critical and vigorous debate and will bring together Syrian intellectuals and members of the Syrian government to discuss domestic affairs and foreign policy.
In the run up to the Syrian Baath Party Conference, issues including the relationship between religion and politics, freedom of the press and nationalism will be addressed by Syrian intellectuals and government officials.
