The number of irregular migrant arrivals has significantly decreased following the suspension of asylum applications for Syrian nationals, according to a Philenews report.
Despite Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s call for Syrians in Lebanon to migrate en masse to Cyprus, from May 1 to 20, after the joint visit by President Nikos Christodoulides and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to Lebanon, there were only 202 arrivals in Cyprus, of which 75 were Syrians, the report said.
