Suggesting that countries responsible for the Mideast's turmoil should help shoulder its fallout, Hungary's foreign minister on Tuesday proposed a global quota system formigrants now flooding Europe and will lobby for it at an upcoming meeting of ministers on the sidelines of the U.N. summit.

Hungary itself is being criticized by other European Union countries for opposing country quotas within the EU. But Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said globally dividing up those fleeing the world's conflict regions made sense, particularly in drawing in those he said were at least partially to blame for the turmoil.

People are fleeing from "countries that became unstable because international political decisions ... made not only by Europe but other big players," he said. "At least part of the burden should be taken away from Europe."

Szijjarto's comments appeared to allude at least in part to the United States, suggesting that its Middle East policies created the conductions for the rise of Islamic extremism sweeping parts of that region and North Africa.

He said the Hungarian proposal will be submitted to a meeting Wednesday of government ministers on refugees and migration hosted by U.N. Secretary General Ban ki-Moon.

Szijjarto also said that Hungary was opposed less to an EU-wide distribution ofmigrants and more to the sequencing of how to deal with the influx.

The first priority, he said should be to securing the European Union's external borders. For that, said Szijjato, a "joint European force" should be assembled in Greece, the entry point for most of the migrants. Beyond contributing personnel, the project should be jointly funded by all EU nations, said Szijjarto.

Other unified EU initiatives should include dedicated funding to Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan to help them take care of the millions of refugees they are hosting, said Szijjarto. He said that would result in keeping those who fled close to their homes and make their repatriation simpler whenever conditions allow.
