Following the closing down of several other foreign embassies the Finnish embassy staff in Syrian capital Damascus has also left Syria due to the "weakened security situation", the foreign ministry said in a statement.
The embassy in Syria was also responsible for Finland's affairs in Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq. All duties will be temporarily managed from Helsinki.
The foreign ministry urged all Finnish people to avoid traveling to Syria, and also asked Finnish citizens still in Syria to leave the country.
