Yesterday afternoon, the President of the Hellenic Republic, Mr.Nikos Christodoulides, had a telephone conversation with the President of the European Commission, Mrs.Ursula von der Leyen, during which they discussed the latest developments in the region with the escalation of the crisis and the general negative consequences that arise, especially in relation to the migration issue.
During the telephone conversation it was agreed that the ever increasing migratory flows of Syrians to Cyprus - which led to the decision of the Republic of Cyprus, on the basis of the applicable Community legislation, to suspend the examination of asylum applications of all cases of persons of Syrian origin - and in particular the request of a number of Member States to reassess the situation in Syria will be discussed at the forthcoming European Council on 17 and 18 April. In this context, their joint visit to Lebanon was discussed and agreed upon, following a preparatory visit by the Commissioner responsible in the coming days.
