5:20 pm
fating up, what awaits migrants is there any assistance at all? >> well, the situation seemed to be mixed. so in -- on certain islands there seems to be some sort of reception very basic reception, that a lot of n.f.o.s working. on other islands there seems to be absolutely no facilities whatsoever. and what is worse, is there's no coordination. that's exactly what they are calling for. it is calling on the greek state to have one centralized body that can teal with the various levels of assistance, that would be required to deal with the phenomenon at this time. this is not rocket science but at the same time, one has to consider the place where frees is at. and it's also very important to point out that the u.n.h.c.r. is also placing the onus on the european
5:21 pm
union. frees is going through two major crisis right now, one of them is the economic cries us and the other is migration crisis. you need financing and you need a proper functioning state. to be able to teal with something like frees is tealing with. and it seems to me that europe has failed certainly most of the european nations would free with you on that one. the interesting thing about frees is that now we are seeing more migrants freese from syria and sometimes afghanistan, in light of that, do you think that perhaps on a european level greece should be prioritized? so that whatever assistance the e.u. should or can give, should be given to greece,

5:23 pm
should be prioritizing over italy, say for any kind of e.u. assistance, because basically the people arriving in greece, are now we are hearing sometimes they arrive -- >> to deal with with the phenomenon. but i think the proper solution really, because we are focusing on the mediterranean, but there are issues all across the board so we are seeing an increase flow of migrants which actually -- many of them, and many of these countries some of them who are previously opposed to a european solution, to migration. are now turning to europe. and rightly so, this migration is a global phenomenon and it is not going to stop, is migration is a phenomenon that we will see in the next ten, 20 years possibly.
