The President of the Syrian regime, Bashar Al-Assad, said during a video call with Russian President Vladimir Putin that the return of refugees who left the country due to the conflict in their country is a priority in the next stage.
This call comes two days before a conference organized by Damascus, with the support of Moscow, to discuss the issue of his return.
In the phone call broadcast by the account of the Syrian regime’s presidency on the “Facebook” website, Al-Assad directed Putin saying that the refugee issue is “the number one priority during the next stage, especially after a large part of the territories have been liberated and the battlefield has receded despite continued terrorism. “
Damascus, supported by Russia, is organizing a conference on Wednesday and Thursday on the return of refugees to their country, in which it is not yet clear who will participate.
However, neighboring Lebanon, which is home to around a million and a half refugees, according to official estimates, will send acting Minister of Social Affairs Ramzi Musharrafi as its representative.
The United Nations Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator for Syria, Omran Reda, will attend the conference as an “observer”.
Al-Assad considered that the “greatest obstacle” to the return of the refugees “besides the persistence of terrorism in some areas to which they are supposed to return (…) is the siege of Syria, in reference to sanctions imposed by Western countries on your country, especially the United States. “
Al-Assad put his hopes in the Russian efforts in terms of “the possibility of easing, lifting or eliminating this siege”, and explained that the return of the refugees “needs to ensure the basic necessities necessary for their livelihood, such as water, electricity, schools … in addition to the question of moving the economy. “
For his part, Putin said, according to statements broadcast by the Kremlin, that as a result of the “joint efforts” of Russia, Iran, an ally of Damascus and Turkey in support of the Syrian opposition, “the focus of terrorism in Syria has been destroyed and the rate of violence has decreased. “
He believed that “with the return of peace and tranquility to most of the Syrian territories, there is a good chance of ensuring the return of large numbers of refugees.”
Representatives from 30 Russian government ministries and agencies will participate in the conference, according to Putin.
Syrian activists interacted through their Twitter accounts, saying that “the return of Syrian refugees to Syria will only be after the fall of the Syrian regime.”
Syrian activist Majid Abdel Nour said on Twitter: “One of the ironies of this planet is that the one who abandoned me, my family and the people of my village, destroyed our houses and killed our loved ones, is the same that holds meetings and converts capital under the name of the return of the refugees. “
The irony of this planet is that the one who abandoned me, my family and the people of my town, destroyed our houses and killed our loved ones, is the same one that holds meetings and tours capitals under the name of the return of refugees .
We are forcibly displaced, not refugees, and the motive for our displacement is Bashar Al-Assad first, Putin second and Khamenei third, and an overwhelming geography in which these criminals reside.– Majid Abdel Nour (@ Magedabdelnour1) November 9, 2020
Majed added: “We are forcibly displaced, not refugees, and the reason for our displacement is Bashar al-Assad first, Putin second and Khamenei third, and an overwhelming geography in which these criminals reside.”

Russia, the most prominent ally of Damascus, has been seeking for years the support of the international community to launch the reconstruction phase and the return of refugees, while donors link any aid to reach a political solution to the conflict.
The main obstacle to the return of Syrian refugees to their country is the presence of the Assadist gang system in power.
