(MENAFN) Lebanese President Michel Aoun has called on German Chancellor Angela Merkel to help his country gradually repatriate its large Syrian refugee population.
This came during a Friday meeting with Merkel at the presidential palace in Beirut.
Aoun cited his country's long experience with the unresolved dispute over Cyprus and the seven-decade-long Palestine-Israel conflict.
"Lebanon has borne a lot as a result of the Syrian crisis," he said, pointing out that his country currently hosts 1.8 million refugees from all over the region.
