The article analyzes the issues concerning the return of Syrians to their homeland. Its purpose is to examine the attracting and expelling elements, including the obstacles faced by the returnees. The article posits the thesis that Syrian government policies, despite encouraging their citizens to return, create numerous barriers that discourage them from reemigrating. The article consists of four parts. In the first one, the economic, social and political situation is analyzed in terms of the security of the returnees. This is followed by an explication of the perception of the returnees by those in power as dissidents and traitors. The subsequent sections address the motives for the return, opposition to re-emigration and the legal barriers encountered by those wishing to return to their homeland. The development of the cognitive problem used an interdisciplinary research approach and methods characteristic of legal science (the dogmatic method), political science (the decision-making method) and historical science.
