Definition
Syria is a country in Western Asia, located on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Its capital city is Damascus.
Etymology
The name likely comes from ancient Greek 'Syría', which may be related to 'Assyria', an older empire in the region. The exact origin is debated among historians and linguists.
Kelly Says
Syria sits at a crossroads of ancient civilizations—Greek, Roman, Persian, and Arab empires all left their fingerprints there. Damascus is often called one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, meaning people have lived there for thousands of years without a break.
