New "fire" against Greece by the Austrian Foreign Ministry




The Greece takes everything in assistance for refugees, while Austria received no international aid and must integrate immigrants, while Athens should only be treated themselves, now claims the known for his animosity against Greece, Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurti, the coalition -with their Sosialdimokrates- conservative Popular Party, in an interview with Austrian public TV.

In the interview, which evolved into confrontation with the putative leading TV presenter in the country, Armin Wolf, the Austrian Foreign Minister, welcoming the closure of Route Balkan and answering the question of whether the development would not be more dead refugees in the Mediterranean, adjudicate that "most deaths occur in Europe when we open the passage, dragging them to take increasingly the path to Europe."

The measures announced by Slovenia and Serbia border closures are the, in his view, "the end of, the state promoting refugees', something he always criticized and considered as dead since last summer.

"If we retreat to want people to come only in Austria or Germany, the current will not be the end," he said at another point in the interview, while adhering to its claim to stop the promotion of people to the north, noted that may the promotion of people along the route of the Balkans not caused the crisis, but the peaked massively.

According to Sebastian Kurti, that "most immigrants seek nothing less than to seek a better life in Germany or Austria," evidenced by the protests at the Greek-Macedonian border, where, as he claimed, the war refugees are secure and "is willing to exert force to come from Greece, a country-member of the EU, to a country outside the EU, in Macedonia." "I understand people, but the policy was wrong. The refugees must remain in Greece and to have their care, "he said.

When the journalist argued that Greece is the large number of refugees has to lift overweight and that, while Austria can cope with 70,000 refugees from Athens demanded much more, Sebastian Kurt pretend confused two different things, that that Austria should integrate immigrants while Greece has only to nurse them.

According to the 29 year old head of Austrian diplomacy, no man wants to remain in Lesvos and moreover "the Athens takes everything to help when Austria received no international assistance" and "in addition to Greece, the refugee camps are empty, why people, anyway, do not want to stay there. "

The possible agreement with Turkey in refugee - which will aim to achieve in the new EU-Turkey Summit on 17 and 18 March to may not, according to the Austrian Foreign Minister, be considered a "solution", but "can only be a element and Europe should itself be managed as much as possible of its own. "

In his view, the aid should be there for "the poorest of the poor" and to provide on the spot, and he is a fan of places like that of British Prime Minister David Cameron, "who said, will welcome 20,000 orphans."
