Refugee crisis took Tsipras by surprise
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Friday told participants at a high-level meeting convened on the refugees issue on that "we are facing a problem beyond our powers."
"We must join forces to focus on the people, our duty and the obligation to offer whatever possible to those in need," he added.
The Greek premier explained that he invited representatives of the local authorities as well as Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Ieronymos because, as he said, the problem has a humanitarian dimension, and "the state and the Church must cooperate to confront the problems and this is probably the only way that may bring results."
Tsipras stressed that we must seek a solution not only on national, but also on European level, because we all understand that no local society can handle such a big burden without support.
The meeting was held at the Maximos Mansion government headquaters.
