Syrian woman: 'I don't want my people to leave my country'
A Syrian woman, who has herself left Syria to live with her husband in Belgium, criticised refugees from her homeland for "giving up" by leaving.
"I don’t want people to leave my country like a football team, when it is losing to stop supporting it".
She was speaking at an anti-migrant demonstration in Belgrade, where she blamed the west's sanctions on Syria for Europe's refugee crisis.
When asked about people leaving Syria to find refuge in Europe, she said she wants her "country to be rebuilt" and that Syrian people should "not forget" their homeland.
