     are actually social workers. First of all, today

     actually today they all are fleeing from war, poverty, hunger together
     taken, be it Afghanistan, Syria or other countries. And this is another
     the reason that explains the complexity of the situation. All these people need
     to be treated as potential asylum-seekers», he said.
