Everyone knows by now that the Syrian government is in debt and it will take around 20 or even 30 years for the country to recover from all these damages,\u201d explained Al Sulaiman.<br \/>\nWith the current situation in mind, the actor also pointed out that during this devastating phase, Syrian TV dramas will be given less attention as other aspects that contribute to rebuilding the country and its economy will be prioritised.<br \/>\n\u201cThere\u2019s also a huge separation between people for and against the Syrian regime, which makes it a tough challenge for the Syrian drama to move forward,\u201d he said.
