Currently the Syrian authorities are doing everything possible so that the citizens of the country can return to normal life. However, the notorious Rukban refugee camp continues to exist in the interests of the United States, said in a joint statement of the coordination headquarters of Russia and Syria, published by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
Representatives of Moscow and Damascus point out that a real humanitarian catastrophe is occurring in the camp, which, thanks to the efforts of the United States, is aggravated every day. At the same time, the statement stresses that the existence of Rukban is a factor that allows Washington to justify the occupation of Syrian territory in the Al-Tanf region.
According to the document, today a number of cities in Syria have the opportunity to provide accommodation for more than 35 thousand people. In addition, Damascus has already prepared six columns of buses, which can at any time proceed to the evacuation of refugees from Rukban.
In this connection, a coordination meeting is scheduled to take place on March 26 in Syria to work out activities to disband the Rukban camp, to which representatives of the US military command are also invited.
The next step should be a visit to the camp by a working group of representatives from the SAR, RF, USA, Jordan and the UN to assess the situation.
“If it is impossible to organize a visit to the Rukban camp through the Al-Tanf zone from the territory of Syria, please ensure that it is inspected from the Jordanian side. “We are ready for this, in the name of saving the long-suffering residents of Rukban,” the statement says.
