| [Iran Press TV] The evacuation of foreign-backed gunnies from the strategic Syrian Old City of Homs has been suspended after gunnies broke an agreement with Damascus. The evacuation was suspended on Wednesday after the gunnies fired rockets into the Shia towns of Nubl and al-Zahraa, violating the agreement. Under the deal, the gunnies were to lift siege of the two northern towns. Hundreds of gunnies have already left the city under the deal. The agreement was reached between the gunnies and the Syrian government on May 4. More than 2,200 people, mostly myrmidons, are supposed to evacuate the flashpoint city and move to myrmidon-held areas in the north of Homs Province, located in the central western part of Syria. It would bring almost all major districts of the city under the control of government forces. As part of the truce, the gunnies are to free about 70 government soldiers. |
