Syrian singer Asala Nasry expressed her resentment over the increasing criticism she received from a number of Syrian artists, saying that they aspire to satisfy the regime’s official. She added that they raised the banner of patriotic to insult her, while the matter is related to political reasons.

She added, “I do not know what did they do for their country except the launch of statements? Those who love their countries give priority to the interests of the people not to the political regimes.” She revealed that she was shocked when she saw videos of Syrian youths being insulted and beaten in Lebanon.
Nasri pointed out in an exclusive interview with Arabs Today that these acts do not include all the Lebanese people whom she described as brothers. "There is a clique that conflicts with humanity in all its forms and types. Barbarism represented in the actions of some who found a way to express their delusional heroism in the weakness of the Syrian displaced throughout beating," Nasri added.
