Discussions Intensify Over Asylum Requests for Syrian Refugees in Greece and Germany
The conversation around asylum requests and refugee status for Syrians has gained momentum as Greece prepares to address the issue at an upcoming council meeting led by the Prime Minister. Currently, there are 9,450 Syrian refugees in Greece, while Germany has slowed its processing of asylum applications amid uncertainties in Syria. Chancellor Olaf Scholz views the fall of Bashar al-Assad as a positive development, but debates arise in Germany regarding the justification for granting asylum to Syrian refugees. Government coalition parties call for restraint during this period of evaluation.
