BUDAPEST (Sputnik), Mary Lopatto – The UN Refugee Agency calculated the number of asylum seekers and refugees in Bahrain to be 353, in Qatar 221 and in Saudi Arabia 661, as of late 2014.
Toroczkai, whose town lies 15 miles west of the temporary refugee camp in Roszke from where hundreds of migrants broke out earlier this week, suggested that it is necessary to "solve the problem where the refugees are fleeing from."
"You have to wonder why there are no Syrian refugees in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar, for example," Laszlo Toroczkai, mayor of Asotthalom, a town located on a popular route used by thousands of migrants, said.
"With the financial support of the European Union and the United States, good camps for refugees could have been created on their soil," the mayor argued.
