Germany's Merkel opposes Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban who says that the best way to act humanely is by removing all the pull factors drawing people to Europe, by closing the border and describes him as" feeling no responsibility" in this regard.

The German chancellor, said at the joint press conference with Hungarian Prime minister Viktor Orban that the EU has a problem because Hungary doesn't feel responsible for migrants under the Dublin system, even if it registered those refugees.

"We defend our borders not to cut ourselves off, the soul of Europe is humanity; if Europe wants to play its role in the world it can't cut itself off from humanity," Merkel stated.

However  Orban, who since 2015 has positioned himself as Merkel’s adversary in migration policy, said Europe best showed humanity by removing incentives for refugees to come to the continent.

“If the help offered by Europe to migrants leads people in Africa and Asia to conclude that they can come, then they will come,” he said. “We have to be humane without creating a pull-factor, and the only way we know of doing that is closing the borders and taking help (to those countries), and not let in people who bring trouble.”

Germany wants to expand cooperation with Hungary under the framework of common projects to protect the EU’s external borders, but on the whole, the views of the two countries on migration issues differ significantly from, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced in Berlin at a joint press conference .

At the same time, she noted that both countries are cooperating under the framework of the border agency"Frontex," with humanitarian assistance and projects in North Africa.

"Such cooperation should be expanded and continued," Merkel said.
