Syrian asylum seekers residing in the Republic of Cyprus have begun contacting the Asylum Service of the Deputy Ministry of Migration and International Protection, requesting to withdraw their asylum applications.
According to SigmaLive, following the fall of the Assad regime, many Syrian asylum seekers are now expressing a desire to repatriate.
The same reports indicate that the government intends to facilitate the voluntary return of Syrians who wish to go back to their home country.
In recent hours, videos have also surfaced of Syrian refugees who had fled to Turkey in previous years, now declaring their intention to return to Syria.
