Abstract

The author analyzes the reasons for the large-scale migration flow to Europe, where more than a million refugees from different countries have arrived in the continent, including the Muslim radicals, under the guise of «Syrian refugees». The author believes that the motivation of migrants’ moving to European countries contradicts the EU’s plan, intending to solve its demographic and economic problems through immigrants.

Keywords
