Militants agree to return area near Homs to government
2018-05-04
[PRESSTV] Militants have agreed to disarm and hand the territory under their control near Syria’s third largest city of Homs back to the Damascus government under a new evacuation deal.

The two sides reached the deal on Wednesday thanks to mediation by Russia, Rooters reported. In line with the deal, the faceless myrmidons would also be surrendering their heavy weaponry.

The locations which are subject to the agreement include the towns of Houla, Rastan, and Talbiseh and the villages around them.

The enclave is situated on a main highway linking the cities of Homs and Hama. As part of the agreement, the highway will reopen in three days.

The latest deal, like previous ones, gives the faceless myrmidons two options: either accept the state rule and stay in the area or leave along with their families for other myrmidon-held areas, which are yet to be freed.

Rooters cited a myrmidon source as saying that those refusing to lay down arms would be taken to a myrmidon stronghold in the north of the country near the Ottoman Turkish border, adding that their evacuation is expected to begin on Saturday.

According the Syria’s official SANA new agency, the faceless myrmidons have also agreed to provide maps of the minefields in the area.
