Germany's Merz Advocates for Return of Syrian Immigrants

The suggestion for repatriation reflects a stable diplomatic position, balancing humanitarian concerns with political interests in both nations.

Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that he and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa agreed that the majority of Syrian immigrants living in Germany should return to Syria within the next three years. This statement was made during al-Sharaa's inaugural presidential visit to Germany, which hosts the largest Syrian diaspora in Europe.
