Colette Khoury

Colette Khoury was born in Damascus, on a date that sources place between 1931 and 1938. A granddaughter of Faris al-Khoury, prime minister during the war, she owed her first name to her father's admiration for the French novelist who bore it. Raised by nuns, she took degrees in law and in French literature between Damascus and Beirut, then taught at the university of her city. Married in 1955 to a Spanish count, then in 1987 to a Damascene businessman, she sat in Parliament in the nineties, was an adviser to the presidency and died in Damascus in April 2026.
