Berlin: Germany has suspended decisions on asylum requests from Syrians amid the "unclear situation" in the war-torn country after the ouster of President Bashar Al Assad, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said Monday.
"In view of this unclear situation, it is right that the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees has today imposed a freeze on decisions for asylum procedures that are still ongoing until the situation is clearer," she said. Germany has Europe's biggest Syrian diaspora.
