I go back to my country, it's Germany or nothing

The refugee said they were forced to flee Damascus, but outright refused to be settled anywhere else in the EU.
He said: "I go back to my country, it's Germany or nothing."
Kbeih - whose disabled son needs specialist medical care - claimed that "if you asked anyone" in the migrant camp he is staying in they would agree.
The audacious revelation comes as Germany admitted it is considering plans to limit the number of migrants it takes in every year.
German interior minister Thomas de Maiziere said there is a limit to the number of migrants European Union member states can take - claiming they "can't take every refugee".
In the latest admission of the country's excessively generous policy towards the migrant crisis, he said: "We cannot accept all the people who are fleeing conflict zones or poverty and want to come to Europe or Germany."
His bold comments contradict Germany's previous soft touch approach towards housing migrants - which left Chancellor Angela Merkel predicting it will take a massive 800,000 migrants in this year alone.
The country even demonstrated its commitment to desperate migrants by building a tent city to house thousands of people claiming asylum.
But Mr de Maixiere claimed that such an approach was essential to tackling the current migrant crisis throughout Europe.
He said: "The decision was necessary for humanitarian reasons in exceptional circumstances. Had we not, the same amount would have come, only later.
