Martin Schulz blames some of EU member states in nationalism

YEREVAN, MAY 13, ARMENPRESS. The President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz says the reason of migrant crisis in Europe is the nationalism of separate states, rather than the EU’s policy in that field, “Armenpress” reports, the EU official said this during the interview with Euronews TV Channel.

“The issue is not Europe. The issue is nationalism on the part of some governments. That’s exactly what leads Europe into crisis, when some governments don’t do their part in relocating refugees. They create these problems with their nationalistic stance, and then they say Europe is incapable of resolving this migration crisis. It’s a show of cynicism that is unprecedented”, he said.

According to him, if all states would participate in relocation of refugees, the crisis would not happen. “If you have one million refugees, and you distribute them among 28 states with a total population of 500 million, you have no problem”, he stated.
