BEIRUT (Xinhua) – Lebanon's President Michel Aoun on Monday warned the international community of the dangers of the Syrian displacement.
He stressed that the return of the Syrian refugees to stable and safe areas in Syria "must be done without linking the matter to a political solution in Syria."
According to a statement by the Presidential media office, Aoun's stance came during a meeting with the ambassadors of the permanent members of the UN Security Council – China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States – at the Presidential Palace in Baabda.
The statement pointed that talks focused on the crisis of displaced Syrians in Lebanon.
Aoun has stressed that the "return of the displaced to stable and safe areas in Syria must be done without linking the matter to a political solution in Syria."
The president warned of the dangers of Syrian displacement.
He said "it is in the interest of the international community to address the matter in order to avoid an outburst as the result of the crisis. The risks will affect everyone."
Aoun added that he is "not asking for the return of Syrian refugees who have political problems with the Syrian regime."
