]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – Germany plans to take in 1,500 migrants currently taking shelter on Greek islands, government sources said, in addition to around 150 unaccompanied minors from the burnt-out Moria camp.

Under a plan agreed by Chancellor Angela Merkel and Interior Minister Horst Seehofer, Berlin will take in migrants who have already secured refugee status, giving priority to families with children, the sources told AFP.

Merkel’s right-left coalition government is in talks over the plan, with her junior partner Social Democrats expecting a deal by Wednesday.

After a fire laid waste to Greece’s biggest refugee camp Moria last week, pressure has grown on Merkel’s government to offer refuge to the 11,500 left homeless by the disaster.

While Berlin has voiced readiness to open its doors to more than the 150 minors, German media reported however that Athens opposed Germany taking in more asylum seekers from Moria.

Doing so may incite more migrants to set fire to their shelter in Greece in the hopes they would then be offered refuge by Europe’s biggest economy, according to Bild daily.

]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – Germany will begin bringing citizens stranded abroad back home as borders shut and airlines scrap flights because of the coronavirus pandemic, its foreign minister said, as Berlin issued a formal warning against holiday travel abroad.

The government of Germany has agreed to spend €50 million e in a deal with commercial airlines to fly citizens home from affected regions, Heiko Maas said, AFP reported.

“Beyond that, we must prevent other German travelers from getting stranded abroad. For this reason, we decided from now to warn against all tourist travel.

“Please stay at home, that would help you and others. This warning against tourist travel applies worldwide, “said Maas, adding that the disruption to air traffic was far from over.

Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday urged all Germans to stop holidaying at home and abroad, as she announced sweeping curbs to keep them indoors to halt the contagion.

Millions of children have been sent home as schools close, and non-essential stores are also shuttered in the unprecedented lockdown. Merkel has repeatedly pleaded with Germans to keep a social distance.

Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, has recorded 6,012 coronavirus cases and 16 deaths since the Covid-19 outbreak in the world.
