Athens says it won't accept Germany's plan to return refugees who first applied for asylum in Greece. The migration minister says the country administers a disproportionate number of displaced people within the EU.

Immigration and Asylum Minister Makis Voridis on Friday said Greece would not welcome requests from Germany to take back refugees who had already applied for asylum in the Mediterranean country.

Voridis told news channel Skai that such a return is out of the question under the current circumstances, with Greece already hosting the European Union's highest number of refugees per capita after Cyprus.
