MOSCOW, October 25. /TASS/. The stance of European countries toward issues in the Middle East inevitably influences the mindset of migrants who have arrived in EU countries from that region, Russian President Vladimir Putin told Vesti reporter Pavel Zarubin.

"Look at what is happening in the Middle East. People who arrived in European countries a few years ago via migration channels, their children who have since grown up, perceive an injustice being committed against their compatriots and their brothers in faith," he said.

"And this, too, shapes their mindset regarding how they should respond to the actions of the authorities in the country where they currently reside," Putin added.
