The German government is considering the issue of German citizens returning home from Syria who have joined the Daesh* terrorist organisation, the Funke media group reported, citing the German Foreign Ministry.
‘The government is carefully studying all options for the possible repatriation of German citizens’, the German Foreign Ministry said in response to the corresponding request of the parliamentary faction of the Left, also commonly referred to as the Left Party.
Among the options considered is the transfer of suspected German citizens from Syria to Iraq. Due to the fact that Germany does not have a diplomatic mission in Syria, employees from the Red Cross or representatives from the Kurdish autonomous regions can assist in their transportation across the border.
