    PanARMENIAN.Net - Syria's government is calling for the return of
    thousands of refugees who fled to Turkey to escape violence in a
    northern town.

    Syrian Information Minister Adnan Mahmoud says security, electricity,
    water and communications have now been restored in Jisr al-Shughour
    and the area is now safe, AP reports.

    Some 8,000 Syrians have sought refuge in camps in neighboring Turkey
    following a military crackdown that authorities said was to snuff out
    "armed terrorists" in the region.

    Mahmoud said following a Cabinet meeting late Tuesday that the
    government tasked the Syrian Red Crescent Society with coordinating
    with Turkish authorities to guarantee the return of refugees.
