The West has forced refugees to leave their homes, says Archbishop Ieronymos

The refugees and migrants were forced to leave their homes because of the actions of the West, the Archbishop of Athens and All Greece, Ieronymos, said on Thursday, during his visit to Samos.

“All these refugees are the result of our own actions, the so-called western world. We, with our actions, have forced them to abandon their homelands and now we stack them like sheep for slaughter,” the Archbishop said after a visit to the island’s Migrant Reception Centre.

He also wondered why people, instead of crying for the refugee children that die on the shores, didn’t they try earlier to avoid the uprooting of families from their homes.
