The Syrians were no longer granted asylum in Germany after the end of the civil war in the country, according to Friedrich Merz, who said that they were encouraged to return to rebuild their homeland.
In the 14-year civil war in Syria, Germany has taken more refugees than any other country in the EU, but the Chancellor and others have been replaced by Bashar Al-Assad 11 months ago.
Merz said late Tuesday that he expected most of the more than 1 million Syrians living in Germany to return home voluntarily.
“There are no longer any grounds for asylum in Germany, and therefore we can also start returns,” he said. Those who refuse to return could face deportation “in the near future”.
He appeared in contrast to his foreign minister, Johann Wadadephul, who after a visit to Damascus last week expressed doubt that the Syrians will be able to return to the damage given to a dignified life that is difficult to imagine.
Wadador has previously taken a strong stance, supporting the government’s line as it seeks to stem the rise of the far-right and anti-immigrant Für Deutschland (AFD).
His apparent reversal drew criticism from some of his colleagues in the Christian Democratic Union, some of whom said he was failing to return the people who needed to rebuild their country.
Some politicians want to be touched is the effect of the deportation in Germany, where thousands of Syrians have successfully joined the recruits at a time when the German population is rapidly aging.
More than 7,000 Syrian doctors are employed in the health sector, often in mountainous regions that have been poorly served in recent decades.
Many of the 1.3 million Syrians living in Germany, nearly a quarter of whom were born in their adopted home, have obtained citizenship, although most have temporary residence permits.

About 1,000 Syrians returned to their homeland with the help of federal aid in the first half of this year.
The issue is made of increasing importance given that the five State elections are scheduled to take place next year in which the AFD is in the Christian Democrats of the Christians of the Christian.
The latest row over the fate of refugees comes with the arrest in Berlin over the weekend of a 22-year-old Islamist attacker in Germany. The incident is the latest in a series of high-profile incidents that have fueled public concerns over security and migration.

Merz said on Monday that he invited the interim president of Syria, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, to Germany to discuss the deportation of Syrians with criminal records in a few hours.
Wadaphul sought the role of the known differences between the position of Merz, who said on Tuesday that he was actively involved in the entire government in participating in the deportations of migrants, including people from Syria.
