"A visszatérés kikényszerítése káoszhoz vezet Szíriában" - mondta a külügyminiszter az Euronewsnak

Asaad Haszan al-Shaibani, the Syrian foreign minister, warned that forcing the return of hundreds of thousands of Syrians living in Europe without financial support would lead to chaos in Syria. He emphasized the need for international support for Syria's reconstruction and cautioned against hasty returns, which could endanger lives. The EU, while pushing for the return of Syrian citizens, has stated that financial aid is conditional on the protection of ethnic and religious minorities in Syria. The European Council announced the restoration of cooperation with Syria, allowing for expanded bilateral trade.
