Foreign Affairs Minister, Gebran Bassil, deemed on Saturday that the only solution to end the displaced Syrians' crisis is for them to return to their homeland.
"There is one sole solution which is the return of displaced Syrians to their land because Lebanon is no longer able to deal with this crisis," Bassil said during the seventh annual conference by the Free Patriotic Movement's Research and Studies Center.
Bassil urged the Lebanese government to work for the return of the Syrian refugees to their country, not only because of the deterioration of the economic situation in Lebanon, but also for security and social reasons.
In this context, Bassil revealed that a municipalities' conference will be held on May 4 to discuss the experience of some municipalities that have succeeded in controlling displacement within their municipal borders, while helping inhabitants preserve their jobs and maintain security and social order in their towns and villages.
Bassil concluded by noting that Lebanon, despite all the difficulties it has witnessed, has never sent displaced Lebanese or refugees to foreign countries, but rather shared with the world the intellectual and scientific talents of its people.
