As of the end of August, 1,867 Syrians had returned home with assistance from the German government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Central Register of Foreigners (AZR), nearly 955,000 Syrian nationals are currently registered as residing in Germany. In 2024 alone, about 83,150 Syrians obtained German citizenship, making them one of the largest foreign-born groups in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Jwan Shekaki<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The German government intends to reach an agreement with the Syrian transitional government by the end of 2025 to enable the deportation of rejected Syrian asylum seekers, German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced.
