Vienna : The Austrian Defense Minister bluntly criticized the policy adopted by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel concerning the migrants, saying that the policy is signifying extreme recklessness and also that Austria is not a ‘Waiting Room’ for the migrants arriving in Germany. In an interview given to the Austrian newspaper ‘Krone’ on Thursday, the Austrian Defense Minister Hans Peter Doskozil condemned the German policy.
