Baku-APA. French President Francois Hollande has vowed to tear down the Calais refugee camp and block any plan for similar establishments in the country, APA reports quoting Press TV.
Hollande made the comments on Saturday, two days ahead of a scheduled visit to the notorious "Jungle" camp located near Calais, where between 7,000 and 10,000 refugees live.
"There will be no camps in France," he said, vowing to "completely dismantle" the camp and to establish "reception and orientation centers around the country" for asylum-seekers.
"We will provide a humane, dignified welcome to people who will file for the right of asylum," he stressed, while noting that people whose asylum requests are denied "will be escorted out of the country. Those are the rules and they are fully aware of them."
