Saudi men who went to fight in Syria are still coming back to the Kingdom, confirmed the Saudi Embassy in Turkey.

The embassy also confirmed that it treated a citizen in Syria before sending him back to the Kingdom.

Adel Mirdad, Saudi ambassador to Turkey, said the embassy’s efforts came on directives issued by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah and Crown Prince Salman, deputy prime minister and minister of defense, and the follow-up of the foreign affairs minister and his deputy.

These directives stress the fact that Saudi embassies should provide aid and assistance to Saudi citizens abroad.

Mirdad said citizens between the ages of 22 and 25 who were involved in fighting in Syria have been repatriated this week. These young adults came to terms with the reality of the group they had joined and gave up their stance, said sources.

The Saudi ambassador called on all Saudis in areas of conflict, whether in Syria or other places, to return to their country and families.

He confirmed that the embassy in Ankara and the consulate general in Istanbul will exert efforts to offer assistance to its citizens.
