ISTANBUL (AA) - Syrian National Coalition for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces (SMDK) on Tuesday urged the Egyptian authorities to resolve the visa implementation issue on Syrians.
Fayez Sarah, a member of the SMDK, said the recent visa implementation of Egypt on Syrians really suprised them and added, "We live in Egypt with our families. Families will be seperated. It is astonishing they reqest a visa despite recognizing the Syrian opposition legally."
"At least families shouldn't be seperated in the holy month of Ramadan," Sarah said.
Syrians, who were able to get a visa at the Syria-Egypt border gate, currently have to apply for a visa before their travel, within the framework of the new legislation put into effect following the military coup in Egypt. SMDK has called on Egyptian authorities and the international society to resolve the issue immediaely, however, no result has come out the talks yet.
