"It's very important to us," one of the women said. "If all the presidents in Europe were like you, we would have no problems, we would be welcomed everywhere."
"It's extremely important for us to reach Europe and start a new life there. We simply can't go back to Iraq. It is dangerous for us there. We need to go forward," she explained. “We want to get education, to go to school. It would be great id all the leaders of Europe were like you, at least a little.
