MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th August, 2018) Syrian President Bashar Assad has signed amnesty decrees for different social categories, which will provide for a personalized approach to each citizen depending on their involvement in the armed conflict in Syria, the country's Minister for Public Administration Hussein Makhlouf said on Wednesday.
"A few words on amnesty. The procedure of dealing with the issue is personalized and depends on the severity of the involvement in the armed conflict of each Syrian citizen, including those who are wanted for various reasons. In order to restore peace in the country as soon as possible, the Syrian president issued several decrees regarding different social categories," Makhlouf said at a meeting of the Russian interdepartmental coordination headquarters on the return of refugees to Syria.
The minister added that the Syrian government had also come up with an initiative to allow a one-year military draft deferral for Syrian refugees who had returned to the country.
Various opposition groups and terrorist organizations have been fighting for power against Assad's forces in a full-scale civil war for over seven years with a ceasefire regime currently in place. Russia has been assisting the government with military support, humanitarian aid and the relocation and accommodation of the returning Syrians through a recently created refugee center.
On Wednesday, the head of Russias National Defense Control Center, Col. Gen. Mikhail Mizintsev, said that a total of 300,000 Syrian refugees had returned to their homes from abroad over the past 2.5 years along with another 1.2 million internally displaced people.
