Italy is ready to organize evacuations
from Syria as pro-Turkish and anti-Assad Islamist rebels make
major advances towards Damascus, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani
said after speaking remotely with Italian ambassadors in the
Middle East, Moscow and the Holy See Saturday.
"The embassy is ready to organize evacuations, we already have
requests, the Government is ready to do what is necessary both
with national and UN initiatives for the safe exit of citizens",
said Tajani at the end of the meeting on the Syrian crisis at
the Farnesina Crisis Unit from where the minister connected with
all the Italian ambassadors in the Region.
"We will ensure that all those who want to leave Syria can do
so", he added without providing details on the evacuation plans.
