“We don’t want to wait for their voluntary return,” Aoun insisted, speaking at the Elysee Palace alongside French President Emmanuel Macron. And added: “most of the Syrian regions from which the refugees hail are now secure.”
The U.N. assistance given to aid Syrian refugees in camps of misery in Lebanon, would be better used to return them to their country from now on.” President Aoun concluded.
