==Immigration to Syria== | |||
*There are small ethnic minority groups, such as the '''Albanians, Bosnians, Georgians, Greeks, Persians, Pashtuns and Russians.''' However, most of these ethnic minorities have become Arabized to some degree, particularly those who practice the Muslim faith. | |||
*Syria was once home to a substantial population of '''Jews''', with large communities in '''Damascus, Aleppo, and Qamishii'''. Due to a combination of persecution in Syria and opportunities elsewhere, the Jews began to emigrate in the second half of the 19th century to '''Great Britain, the United States, and Israel'''. <ref name="syr">"Syria", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria, accessed 14 July 2021.</ref> | |||
==Emigration From Syria== | |||
*The largest concentration of the Syrian diaspora outside the Arab world is in '''Brazil''', which has millions of people of Arab and other Near Eastern ancestries. Brazil is the first country in the Americas to offer '''humanitarian visas to Syrian refugees'''. | |||
*The majority of '''Arab Argentines are from either Lebanese or Syrian background.<ref name="syr/"> | |||
*The number of Syrians outside Syria is estimated to be from 8 to 13 million, nearly half of the country's population. The UNHCR reports that 4.9 million global refugees in 2015 were Syrian nationals.<br> | |||
