Aoun chairs meeting on Syrian refugees

President Michel Aoun, caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib, caretaker Social Affairs Minister Hector Hajjar, and Maj. General Abbas Ibrahim met Wednesday in Baabda to discuss the Syrian Refugees repatriation.

Also on Wednesday, Kuwaiti newspaper al-Anbaa reported that Syria is dissatisfied with a statement by Bou Habib that accused the Syrian regime of not wanting to return the refugees to their homeland.

“They are sending money to their country,” Bou Habib had said.

The daily added that, according to Damascus sources, Syria has expressed its willingness to cooperate with Lebanon in this matter.
