Merkel warns asylum seekers that German refuge is ‘temporary’

Angela Merkel has warned asylum seekers that they are only in Germany temporarily and cannot stay long-term.
In a significant change of tone, the German chancellor said even genuine refugees from Syria and Iraq would have to go home once the conflicts there had ended.
“If there is peace in Syria and Isil is defeated in Iraq, we expect you to return to your homelands, with the knowledge of what you have received from us,” she said.
Mrs Merkel and senior ministers sought over the weekend to reassure German voters that her government had the refugee crisis under control after a record 1.1 million asylum seekers arrived last year.
