"reach an agreement with Syria this year and then initially deport criminals and later people without residence permits."
"Syria is at its limit; its capacity to take in refugees has already been exhausted,"
"We are dealing with one of the biggest refugee crises in the world there."
Germany aims to reach a deal with Syria to accelerate repatriation of Syrian war refugees, including deporting criminals and people without residence permits. Legal and humanitarian obstacles complicate repatriation amid continuing violence, a devastated economy, and damaged infrastructure. The UNHCR director in Syria warned that Syria's capacity to take in refugees is exhausted and described the situation as one of the largest refugee crises globally. The German Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development reports about 7 million internally displaced within Syria and roughly 1 million war refugees who returned after the fall of Assad. Around 1,300 Syrians returned from Germany following that event. A former refugee who fled in 2015 visited Syria late last year and found conditions consistent with UNHCR assessments.
