Szijjarto warns of growing migration pressure

Due to the approaching winter and Europe's condemnation of Turkey's offensive in Syria, the next few months will bring about increased migration pressure, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Brussels on Monday. Speaking to the press on the sidelines of the meeting of EU foreign ministers, Szijjarto said the root causes of migration had intensified recently. Instability in countries outside Europe has a negative impact on European security, he said. Hungary's stance is that international migration policy must shift quickly to solving problems locally and helping people to return home instead of encouraging further waves of migration, he said, adding that Hungary will continue to focus on border protection and exporting aid to areas where it is needed.
