Beirut, April 16 (IANS) Leba**n can**t bear the burden of more Syrian refugees coming into the country and would work on limiting their number, the interior minister said Tuesday. "Limiting the immigration of Syrian refugees will be coordinated with the concerned organisations and will depend on two factors -- defining who the refugees are and limiting migration from safe Syrian areas," Xinhua quoted Interior Minister **uhad Mash**uk as saying. But he also said that "the Syrian refugees are our guests and considered among our relatives, but the country does **t have e**ugh capabilities and infrastructure to bear the big number of refugees". Mash**uk added that "Syrian refugees represent 27 percent of Leba**n's population, while in Jordan they number 10 percent of the population and in Turkey four percent".
