The centre was opened as a result of our humanitarian urge and in response to the growing number of displaced persons who flee their countries as a result of wars and ilegal immigrants and other people who are deported from various countries regularly.
As you are aware deportees and refugees are products of poor economic development and constant wars i developing countries. The influx of such people into different countries has no doubt become a problem to our country as well as to other nations.
