Security policy expert: No stone left standing in Europe, if family reunification starts

The number of this year’s 1 million projected asylum seekers can increase manifold, if family reunifications start. According to security policy expert Gyorgy Nogradi, the EU leaders have met very late to find a solution for the immigration crisis, hirado.hu wrote.

The current migration crisis is unprecedented in the size and complexity, which promises to be lasting – most recent study of OECD found. According to the data of the organization, 700 thousand asylum seekers were registered until the beginning of the month, and the number of asylum seekers can also exceed one million by the end of the year. More and more experts talk about that this number can increase even manifold in a short time, because of family reunifications.

Security policy expert Gyorgy Nogradi said in M1 television program that people are flocking from Syria and the neighboring countries hosting millions of Syrian refugees, and if once family unification begins, “no stone left standing in Europe”. Although the Turks closed their borders in the direction to Greece, but 90% of the migrants goes on to Europe at sea – he added.

Gyorgy Nogradi also said he thought Wednesday’s EU summit about the news and possible solutions of the migrant crisis was “extremely late”, which did not bring the expected breakthrough either.
