[KavkazUzel] The Armenian authorities have withdrawn a group of humanitarian demining specialists and medical workers from Syria in connection with the intensification of hostilities in the Arab Republic.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on February 8, 2019, a contingent of 83 Armenians arrived in Syria on a humanitarian mission.

Armenian humanitarian demining specialists and medical workers who carried out a mission in the Aleppo region of Syria have been returned home, the Armenian Defense Ministry reported.

According to the military department, this decision was made in connection with the sharp deterioration of the operational situation and the beginning of active military operations in a number of areas of Syria.

Under the current circumstances, the normal functioning of the group became impossible, the ministry explained. "Accordingly, a decision was made to temporarily suspend the group's activities in Aleppo," the message, translated by a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent, explains.

The specialists returned to Armenia on the evening of November 29.

According to the Syrian authorities, on the morning of November 27, the extremist group Jabhat al-Nusra carried out a large-scale attack in the north of the country, attempting to attack populated areas and military facilities; positions of government forces were attacked. Syria is doing its utmost to repel attacks by armed groups, TASS reported today.
