(MENAFN) Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, secretary general of Hezbollah, said that the resistance group will work with the Syrian state and Lebanon's General Security agency to back Syrian refugees' return, a project that critics see as premature in the absence of a peace deal.
In a televised speech, Nasrallah said Hezbollah was establishing a mechanism to return "the biggest possible number" of Syrians refugees who want to go home safely and voluntarily.
"We are ready to help ". and we will continue helping until this matter is settled politically and officially between the Lebanese and Syrian governments," he added.
In the next few months, Hezbollah will directly collect requests for returns from refugees, deliver them to Syrian authorities, and coordinate with General Security, he said.
