Austria to withdraw peacekeepers from Syria

 

Austria will withdraw peacekeepers from Syria if European states start supplying militants with weapons, Jerusalem Post cites Austrian Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger.

The minister expressed concerns that some European states were opposed to extension of the embargo on weapon trade. France and the UK want to sell weapons in Syria.

The Golan Heights have about 1,000 peacekeepers, a third of them being Austrians.
