Solve West Asia Crisis to Stop Migration to Europe: Russian FM Lavrov

Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said that solving West Asia and North Africa crisis will stop the wave of migrants entering Europe.
Lavrov pointed out that the European Union will not be able to solve its migration crisis by keeping out refugees with walls and fences
"Another harmful consequence of the adventurous policy to forcefully reorganize the Middle East (West Asia) and North Africa is the migration crisis currently sweeping Europe," Lavrov said in Geneva.
"It is further complicated by the lack of a coherent, unified EU position, with some members promoting a liberal policy in regard to migrants, increasing the [migrant] flow to Europe, while others, who are the first to feel the effects of this flow, are trying to isolate themselves with fences and walls. We believe that such methods will not solve the problem," he added.
Frontex, the EU’s border control agency, said 30 times as many migrants entered Europe in January and February as in the same two months of last year, and the UN’s refugee agency announced that 131,724 people had crossed the Mediterranean – the vast majority of them reaching Greece – so far in 2016, almost as many as made the journey in the first six months of 2015. Frontex recorded more than 1.8 million illegal border crossings in the bloc in 2015.
The UNHCR said the continent stood “on the cusp of a largely self-induced humanitarian crisis. With governments not working together despite having already reached agreements in a number of areas, and country after country imposing new border restrictions, inconsistent practices are causing unnecessary suffering and risk being at variance with EU and international law standards," UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards has told a press briefing in Geneva on Tuesday.
In a scathing statement, Human Rights Watch condemned the EU’s “utter failure to respond collectively and compassionately to refugee flows”.
