Strasbourg, Dhu-AlHijjah 23, 1436, Oct 7, 2015, SPA -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel warns countries against taking an individualist approach to Europe's migration crisis, insisting that "precisely now, we need more Europe." "Partitioning and sealing off are an illusion in the day and age of the internet," Merkel adds in a joint address with French President Francois Hollande to the European Parliament, noting that the approach would amount to a rejection of the continent's values and identity. According to dpa, people coming to Europe out of hardship must be seen as "humans, not some anonymous mass," irrespective of whether they have a perspective of staying or not, the chancellor adds. She also stresses the need to better assist those countries bearing the brunt of the crisis in Syria. "Turkey plays a key role," she says, praising the country's "extraordinary" effort to support 2 million refugees. --SPA 22:10 LOCAL TIME 19:10 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
