Syria urges refugees to return

The Syrian Ministry of Interior on Thursday called on the refugees who fled the violence to return home, after the entry into force of the cease-fire meant to end more than a year of deadly violence.

"We call on the citizens who were forced to leave their homes to areas within the country or to neighboring countries, to return to Syria," the ministry said, also asking the Syrians to "ignore the ads and information misleading." (AP)
