Greece to Discuss Asylum Applications for Syrian Refugees Amid Ongoing Turmoil
The Greek government’s upcoming meeting of the National Security Council (KYSEA) will focus on asylum applications from Syrian citizens, in light of the evolving situation in Syria. Several EU countries have already announced a freeze on asylum applications for Syrian refugees. Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapaetritis emphasized the dynamic state of Syria and the need for coordinated decisions with EU partners and the United Nations. Discussions may include a temporary suspension of application reviews until clarity on Syria’s political situation is achieved.
