Beirut, SANA-Patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans Archbishop Louis Sako criticized the policies of Western and European countries which “open the doors of emigration for Syrian and Iraqi Christians.”<\/p>\n
Sako’s comments came in press statements he gave as he was leaving Lebanon’s capital Beirut back to Baghdad after he attended” the\u00a0Patriarchs of the Orient” meeting.<\/p>\n
Slamming these policies as “unrealistic and myopic”, Archbishop Sako called on Western countries to reconsider them.<\/p>\n
He warned that terrorism will come back to haunt the same countries that have fed it, indicating that they “will find themselves face to face with battle-hardened terrorists coming from Europe who pose a greater threat than Arab terrorists.”<\/p>\n
The meeting provided a platform for discussing the situation of Christians in the Middle East, the Patriarch\u00a0said, citing a pressing need for further discussions about the importance that the region preserves its diversity and richness .<\/p>\n
