Merkel: Aid to Afghanistan Needed, Will Deter Migration
|
[ToloNews] German Chancellor Angela Merkel
...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom . Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists...
said that the international community should ensure humanitarian aid to Afghanistan to decrease the migration of Afghans into neighboring countries and to Europe.
Talking alongside her Ottoman Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyib Erdogan on Saturday in Istanbul, Merkel said Afghans should not become victims of human traffickers and smugglers.
"We also talked about the issue of Afghanistan. So that people from Afghanistan do not become victims of smugglers and traffickers, we must ensure that humanitarian aid is provided in Afghanistan," Merkel said.
Merkel and Erdogan also talked about bilateral relations and an EU-The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

agreement addressing illegal migration in Europe.
Merkel’s visit to Turkey follows a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report that accused Ottoman Turkish authorities of violating international law by mistreating Afghan refugees who try to cross from the Iranian border into Turkey.
HRW, quoting Afghan refugees who returned from the border, reported that Ottoman Turkish authorities mistreat the refugees who try to seek safety in Turkey. According to the report, Ottoman Turkish forces collectively expel Afghans in groups of 50 to 300 back into Iran.
"Ottoman Turkish authorities are denying Afghans trying to flee to safety the right to seek asylum. Ottoman Turkish soldiers are also brutally mistreating the Afghans while unlawfully pushing them back," said Belkis Wille, a senior crisis and conflict researcher at HRW.
As I recall, refugees are supposed to apply for asylum from the first country they encounter after fleeing home. In this case it would be Iran, not Turkey. HRW said it hopes Merkel would push the Ottoman Turkish government to end the expulsion of Afghans and investigate allegations of collective expulsions.
Following the collapse of the former government in August 15 and the economic downturn in the country, many Afghans are trying to migrate into neighboring countries as well as into Europe.
