Austria's conservative-led government said on Friday it is offering Syrian refugees a "return bonus" of 1,000 euros ($1,050) to move back to their home country after the fall of Bashar al-Assad.

Conservative Chancellor Karl Nehammer reacted quickly to Assad's overthrow on Sunday, saying the same day that the security situation in Syria should be reassessed so as to allow deportations of Syrian refugees.

Would anyone really feel safe returning to Syria today? There is still fighting going on, and now Israel is annexing the parts that connect to Israel.

The guy ruling Syria now was literally in al-Qaeda. You should be insane to return to Syria now.
