The conflicts in Iraq, Syria, and Libya toppled governments and bred extremism, Aleksandr Grushko has told RT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Western regime change wars in countries such as Iraq, Syria, and Libya transformed entire regions into terrorist havens and led to \u201cmigration waves\u201d<\/em> such as the one currently engulfing Spain\u2019s exclave of Ceuta, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Grushko told RT on Friday.<\/p>\n

An estimated 50,000 migrants, mostly young men, swam from Morocco and crossed into Ceuta on Thursday and Friday in an unprecedented influx that triggered a humanitarian crisis in the city. Around 48,000 had voluntarily returned by Friday evening, according to the Spanish Interior Ministry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe root cause of those migration waves lies in the policies of the West itself, which took aggressive action against Iraq, Syria, Libya, and now Iran,\u201d<\/em> Grushko said, adding that this left entire regions in the Middle East and North Africa \u201cstripped of statehood and transformed into safe havens for terrorists and extremists.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The consequences of these Western policies are now being seen in \u201cthese waves of migration,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

This is a collapse of the immigration policy that the EU has pursued for many years.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Grushko called the situation a failure not only of the EU\u2019s \u201cregulation \u2013 or lack thereof \u2013 of immigration,\u201d<\/em> but also of the bloc\u2019s worldwide posture and policies it pursues regarding \u201ccountries that it considers its partners.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Problems like immigration were \u201cswept under the rug\u201d<\/em> while the bloc focused on militarizing and preparing for a war with Russia, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cReality is simply smashing through the ideological and political doors and walls they have erected, revealing to the European Union where its true problems lie,\u201d<\/em> Grushko said.<\/p>\n
