German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced that the civil war in Syria has ended, which means there are no longer reasons to grant asylum to Syrian migrants in Germany. He emphasized the importance of Syrians returning home for the reconstruction of the country, stating that many of them will want to return voluntarily. This statement contrasts with the views of the foreign minister, who mentioned that the return of refugees is limited due to the massive destruction of Syrian infrastructure. Over a million Syrian refugees arrived in Germany, especially during the period of 2015-2016. Merz added that the German government will encourage repatriation and will support the process, including the expulsion of Syrians who have committed crimes in Germany.
