Syrian President Bashar Assad says parliamentary elections will be held in the war-torn country on April 13.
The polls, to be held across government-controlled parts of Syria, are the third such elections in the country since the start of its nine-year civil war.
During the last polls in 2016, Syria’s ruling Baath party and its allies won a majority of the chamber’s 250 seats.
The United Nations refused to recognize the results.
