Denmark: Now we are withdrawing residence permits for Syrians - "Of course they will go home"

Foreign. Denmark plans to send home the asylum immigrants who came to Denmark from Syria during the refugee crisis. This is what the Danish government writes in a press release.
- Of course, they will go home, comments Foreign Minister for Immigration and Integration Mattias Tesfaye (S).
Peace in Syria
The Syrians affected by the decision are, in the first stage, refugees from the Damascus province. The Danish Refugee Agency, which can be compared to a migration tribunal, ruled in December last year that the situation in Syria's capital and the surrounding province is no longer so serious that there are reasons to extend previously issued residence permits for Syrians from that province.
In May and June months this year, the Refugee Board rejected five asylum cases for Syrians from the Damascus province. Against this background, the Social Democratic government in Denmark has commissioned the country's migration agency to review and re-examine hundreds of already granted residence permits.
- Last year, almost 100,000 refugees returned to Syria from the immediate area. Their countrymen, who have been granted protection here in Europe, will of course also travel home as soon as conditions in Syria allow, comments Foreign Minister of Foreign Affairs and Integration Mattias Tesfaye.
Through a screening process, 900 cases of asylum cases already settled have been taken out for re-examination. The majority of the cases are expected to be settled before the turn of the year.
Last year, more Syrians emigrated from Denmark than immigrants to the country. 886 Syrians emigrated while 563 immigrated. In part, this is due to a new Danish repatriation law that will encourage immigrants to return to their home countries"
