Germany Encourages Refugees To Return To Syria

Germany is planning to increase financial incentives for Syrian refugees who agree to return to their homeland voluntarily. However, the ministry does not believe that the current incentives are sufficient to trigger a wider migration movement, as the situation in Syria is still too unclear following the coup.

Germany is planning to increase financial incentives for Syrian refugees who agree to return to their homeland voluntarily.

According to the German Foreign Ministry, everyone leaving Germany will be offered a €200 travel grant and a €1,000 start-up grant.

Rebel forces overthrew the long-time dictator Bashar al-Assad in early December, and many refugees lost their right to asylum.
