Refugees in Idomeni on Thursday have their eyes turned to the critical EU summit which they hope will give a solution to their problem.
“I expect the EU summit to offer us the opportunity to live with dignity and claim the right to a safe living. I have been to the camp for over two weeks and I have not yet applied for the relocation programme because I want to exhaust all possibilities to seek my dream,” Omar from Syria said to ANA-MPA.
Omar as well as 28 year-old Mohammed from Syria want to go to Germany and have placed their hopes on German Chancellor Angela Merkel‘s stance in the EU summit. “My siblings, that are already in Germany, told me that Merkel wants us and will do whatever possible in order for the EU to allow us to continue our trip to Germany. Here we have no future. The Greeks are very good people but here there are no jobs. We want to leave, to go somewhere where we will be able to find something to start again our lives.”
There are others that have not heard anything about the EU summit such as Doa from the city Homs in Syria. “I do not know of what summit you are talking about. The only thing I know is that I can’t continue living in the mud, without money and without hope. The borders must open. In my city everything is devastated. If we go back, we will die. Europe must open its arms and take us,” she said.
