About 73,000 displaced Syrians have returned to their areas in the Idlib governorate in northern Syria, following the ceasefire agreement between Turkey and Russia that took effect on March 6.
Part of the displaced went to camps near the Syrian-Turkish border, while others went to opposition-held towns in northern Syria.
For his part, the director of the Civil Response Coordinators Team in Northern Syria concerned with collecting data on the displaced, Muhammad Hallaj, said that part of the displaced civilians returned to their homes immediately after the Syrian regime and its allies stopped their military operations in the area.
He added that nearly a million Syrians had been displaced from their homes since October 2019, as a result of the operations and shelling of the regime, indicating that 73 thousand of them had returned to their homes with the passage of a month since the ceasefire agreement.
He explained that a large part of these displaced people continue to live in camps near the Syrian-Turkish border, due to the control of the regime forces over their villages and towns during its recent military operations.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian Vladimir Putin on March 5 had reached a ceasefire agreement in Idlib starting from the 6th of the same month, which also included the conduct of Turkish and Russian patrols along the M4 road between the two regions of Tarnaba (west of Saraqib) and Ain Al-Hoor, while Turkey reserves the right to respond to the attacks of the Syrian regime.
