EU to discuss Afghan refugees’ issue with Tehran

The European Union is to discuss the issue on Afghan refugees living in Iran, many of whom lead to the European Union, reports “Armenpress”, citing the words of a EU representative.

“There are 1 million registered and 2 million unregistered refugees, Afghan refugees from Iran make up a large percentage of the them.

I expect that it will be on the agenda during the visit, but will not be on the agenda of the European Union (Foreign Affairs) Council, “said the EU official, who requested anonymity.

He noted that many Afghan refugees have already been living in Iran for 30 years.
“We have offered to discuss the issue during the dialogue with the Iranian side, they have agreed,”said the EU representative, reports RIA Novosti.
