More than 15 EU countries have proceeded with this “freeze”, on the grounds that the Assad regime, from which they fled, no longer exists
The question of examining an asylum application by them is considered very important Syrian immigrants and for this reason it held an extraordinary meeting today, Friday Government Council for Foreign Affairs and Defense (KYSEA).
Specifically, as he communicated to the Yannis Kantelisit seems that we are headed for a “freeze” of applications for the granting of asylum to Syrian refugees after a relevant recommendation of the Ministry of Immigration and Asylum. Of course, much remains to be clarified in the next period, as no one can be sure of the next day in the country, that is, whether there will be a regime that will provide the basics to the citizens without persecution.
In any case, this is a trend that exists in Europe, since there are more than 15 countries of the European Union that have proceeded to this “freeze”, on the grounds that now the Assad regime, from which they fled, no longer exists and has fallen. It remains to be seen whether this development will also lead to the return of Syrian refugees back to their homeland. It is not an easy process, while it is recalled that at the Home Affairs and Migration Council in Brussels yesterday it was decided to create a European framework for this process.
At the same time, an important role is expected to be played by Turkeywhich already has 3,500,000 Syrian refugees on its soil, but could be the country through which, in a European agreement, those who wished to return home would be returned. Notably, the asylum ‘freeze’ means nothing to those already granted asylum, who normally remain with freedom of movement within the EU.
