Despite this, the likelihood of Ireland being able to return asylum seekers to the UK may be limited by the UK itself, with <strong>Sunak saying \u201cof course we are not going to\u201d accept the migrants\u2019 returns<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIreland\u2019s troubles over its designation of the UK as a safe country to return migrants also runs in parallel to those of Cyprus regarding Syria.<br \/>\n<strong>The Cypriot government has been steadfast in its belief that Syria is now a safe country<\/strong> to which migrants can be returned, with the Cyprus News Agency (CNA) claiming that \u201caround ten\u201d EU member states now support the idea.<br \/>\nThose include Denmark, the Czech Republic, Greece, and Austria, with Cyprus\u2019 claim being based on indications made regarding the provinces of Damascus and Tartus by the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; President Nikos Christodoulides and British Prime
