He said that the IOM has high level relations with the EU and its member countries in this regard.
“We always discuss this matter and convey our proposals and requests. The shipwreck off Italy's Lampedusa island claimed 364 lives. Following that accident we worked out a special document named “the path of death”. We state that 40,000 people have died in global migration so far. 22,000 of them lost their lives in the Mediterranean. We want countries not to impose a stern policy on migrants and to end cases of xenophobia because these only aggravate the situation,” said the director general.
