Syrian Refugees in Germany Face Delayed Return Due to War Damage
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has stated that Syrian refugees in Germany cannot return home in the near future due to the extensive destruction caused by the civil war. He expressed shock at the damage he witnessed during a recent visit to a Damascus suburb.
The German Interior Ministry, under Alexander Dobrindt, is currently engaged in negotiations with Syria's transitional government to facilitate the return of refugees. Meanwhile, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees is processing asylum applications from Syrian men who arrived in Germany alone and are young and fit.
Deportations to Syria are planned to commence with convicted criminals, as per the coalition treaty. The Interior Ministry is actively working on an agreement with Syria to make these returns possible.
In summary, Syrian refugees in Germany face delayed repatriation due to war damage, with negotiations ongoing between Germany and Syria. The process will initially focus on deporting convicted criminals, with further returns dependent on a bilateral agreement.
