So Many Syrians Returned Since the Change of Power

Interior Minister Karner is considering options for forced repatriations after FPÖ Member of Parliament Reinhold Maier inquired about it in the Human Rights Committee. The background is the return of only 250 out of 100,000 Syrians following the change of power in Syria.

Each case should be considered individually, as the security situation can vary depending on the population and religious group, explained Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP). A report on the situation in Syria is to be presented "in a few weeks." In this matter, close cooperation is being maintained with the German authorities.

Syria Trip by Interior Minister Karner Aborted

Karner intended to travel to Syria last week together with the acting German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser. However, the trip was aborted due to "specific warnings of a terrorist threat." "The potential threat to the delegations and the deployed security forces was not justifiable," the Interior Ministry stated. The decision was made jointly by both ministries.
