Syrian diaspora refers to Syrian people and their descendants who chose or were forced to emigrate from Syria and now reside in other countries as immigrants, or as refugees of the Syrian Civil War.
The estimated number of people of Syrian descent residing outside Syria ranges from 8 to 13 million.[3]: 1 The UNHCR reports that 4.9 million global refugees in 2015 were Syrian nationals.[4] The Syrian nationality law does not grant diaspora Syrians an automatic right of return to Syria, and under the controversial 2018 Absentees Law, the Assad government confiscated property of millions of Syrians.[5][6]
