In early September, 2016 in Vilnius airport landed 20 new refugees from Syria: three families — six adults and fourteen children. Here they are resettled from refugee camps in Turkey. “No matter what country, rich or poor, people want to live in security,” then ranted on camera migrant from Syria Mohammad Ali Abdul. But suddenly it turned out that it very much matters how rich the country is. It is this family only arrived in the Center of making refugees rebelled — refused to sign the agreement on the integration in Lithuania. Immigrants began to demand to resettle them in Canada.
And this is not some highly skilled or wealthy people — it’s just 36-year-old tailor, 29-year-old housewife and their three children. Now, the immigrant explains that the UN, displacing him and his family to Lithuania, had deceived them: “When I was told that Lithuania is also taking in refugees, I immediately asked whether there are given the same rights as in Germany, Sweden or other EU countries. I said Yes, Lithuania was among those countries that belong to the so-called A class. But when we arrived, and the Deputy Director of this center explained to us the process of integration and told us what benefits we will pay, I realized that I was in the wrong place“.
A few days later, the Syrians lost — agreed to sign the contract. And only did it when they were told that if they don’t sign it. “Have addressed the issue of their return whence they came. Exactly there, where they came from, that is, specifically from Turkey, because in a war zone they’re not returned,” — said Vice-Minister of social protection and labour Algirdas Seselgis. Now this Syrian family, who did not want to live in Lithuania, together with attorneys interested in the possibility of writing a complaint to the UN due to the fact that they moved to Lithuania.
Neighboring Latvia took 45 migrants, but more than half of them fled to Germany. In Germany they are granted asylum, as Latvia had violated their rights on television showed women with naked hair. Well, you understand. Refugees are “refugees”.
