Romania's Ambassador Leaves Syria over Security Concerns
[An Nahar] Romania's ambassador to Syria has left Damascus...The capital of Iran's Syrian satrapy... to relocate in Beirut due to security concerns, the Romanian Foreign Ministry said Sunday. "The security situation in Syria is significantly deteriorating, including in central Damascus, which has led to a reduction of Romania's diplomatic activities," the ministry said. The ambassador to Syria will monitor the situation from Leb, it added. Romania is one of the few Western countries that kept its embassy in Syria open until now. Thousands of Romanian citizens, most of them married to Syrian nationals, have been caught in the conflict in Syria. The authorities in Bucharest called on them to "leave Syria as soon as possible".
