Amidst the evolving situation in Syria following the fall of the Assad regime, both Germany and Austria have decided to suspend asylum application processes for Syrian nationals. This decision comes after recommendations from immigration authorities, indicating the current political instability makes assessments impractical. In Germany, over 42,000 asylum applications are pending, while Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer has announced guidelines for a coordinated return program for Syrians. The discussions surrounding the future of Syrian refugees in both countries are ongoing, with various political opinions emerging about repatriation.
