Hello: I would like to learn about Syria, thanks. 
 Hello, Syria is a country located in the Middle East and borders Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Jordan, and Turkey. It is in the west part of Asia. 
 Thank you, do you have any information on the etymology of Syria? 
 Yes, Syria was divided into a number of provinces under the Roman empire even though they were politically independent of each other. Judaea was later renamed Palaestina in AD 135. This is now the area of modern-day Israel, the Palestinian Territories, and Jordan. 
 Great, do you have any additional information on the etymology(origin) of the name "Syria"? 
 Several sources indicated that the name Syria is derived from the 8th century BC Luwian term Sura and the derivative of an ancient Greek name, of which both were originally derived from Assyria in northern Mesopotamia. 
 Awesome, Switching topics: Do you have information on the culture of Syria? 
 Yes, some Syrian dishes evolved from both Turkish and French dishes such as shish kebab, stuffed zucchini, courgette, and yabra, which are stuffed grape leaves. The word yabra is from a Turkish word which means 'leaf'.
