Greece ‘won’t be Lebanon of Europe’: minister
2016-02-26
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Greece on Thursday said it would not be left by the rest of the EU to become the "Leb of Europe" by hosting millions of migrants colonists and refugees.
Greece won't be Lebanon? It's an easy mistake to make...
Speaking ahead of a crucial meeting in Brussels, Greek migration minister Yannis Mouzalas criticized other countries for "unilateral" actions that affect Greece.

"A very large number (of participants) here will attempt to discuss how to address a humanitarian crisis in Greece that they themselves intend to create," he told news hounds.

"Greece will not accept unilateral actions. Greece can also carry out unilateral actions. Greece will not accept becoming Europe’s Leb, a warehouse of souls, even if this were to be done with major (EU) funding."

Four million refugees have fled Syria for the relative safety of neighboring countries, according to the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
, with more than one million in Leb.

Greece is the main entry point for migrants colonists to the EU, with most of them coming over the Aegean Sea to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
 via the Greek islands.

Athens faces growing pressure to stop "waving through" migrants colonists to the rest of Europe, but it has criticised the response of the EU.
