Tsipras: Greece Feels an Obligation to Care for Refugees

tsiprasGreece feels the obligation of caring for refugees arriving in the country, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said at “Religious and Cultural Pluralism and Peaceful Coexistence in the Middle East” conference in Athens.
In remarks at a dinner at the Acropolis Museum hosted by Foreign minister Nikos Kotzias, Tsipras said, “Even now, in this difficult economic situation in the country, we feel obligated to take care of the refugees arriving at our shores… That’s exactly why we believe that religion and culture act like bridges of communication and understanding between peoples.”
The prime minister added that Greece “finds itself in the middle of a crisis touching Europe, the Middle East and the Mediterranean on an economic, political, geopolitical and spiritual level.” One of the crisis’ aspects, he said, was to decide what kind of Europe people wanted for the future, that of solidarity, growth and social justice or one of austerity and inequality.
The conference brought together regional and international representatives to discuss the humanitarian crisis of Middle East peoples and peaceful coexistence. Attendees include religious and political leaders in the region, academics and others.
