(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 11 - Syria has produced the largest number of migrants in Europe, the eighth annul report on asylum rights by the Catholic Migrantes Foundation said Wednesday.
    "Unfortunately, the Syrian situation has recently returned to the forefront," said the report, presented at the Pontifical Gregorian University.
    "The Report reminds us that for years Syria, in 2023 alone, has been the main country of origin of people seeking refuge in the European Union.
    "In Italy, they are the second nationality of origin of those arriving, in particular, from the Mediterranean route".
    Syrians accounted for 183 thousand asylum applications last year alone, the report said. (ANSA).
