YEREVAN, AUGUST 30, ARMENPRESS. The politicians asked "the Luxembourg presidency to organize a special meeting of justice and interior ministers within the next two weeks, so as to find concrete steps" on the crisis, said Germany's Thomas de Maiziere, Britain's Theresa May and France's Bernard Cazeneuve.

“Armenpress” reports, referring to dw.com, that the ministers also called for an EU-wide list of "safe countries of origin" in their joint statement on Sunday. Such a list would help identify people threatened by war and persecution by automatically sifting out migrants from politically stable countries.

In addition, the representatives of the three biggest EU countries called for the establishment of "hot spots" in Greece and Italy, allowing the authorities to take fingerprints and register the incoming migrants. The checkpoints should be established by the end of the year, the ministers said.

"We agree that we have no more time to lose. The current situation demands immediate action and solidarity in Europe," said de Maiziere.
