According to the head of state, the proposition has not been approved.

Basescu said Romania opposed this measure considering some 11,000 Romanians are or have been living in Syria.

He said authorities have started to evacuate Romanians in Homs and in other Syrian regions.

“We have agreements with Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan regarding the evacuation of Romanians, on request,” Basescu said.

The president said Romania denounces the crimes perpetrated by the Syrian regime.
