The visit mentions also and the topic site from island

LesvosPost: Ακόμα μια μεγάλη στιγμή για το νησί μας: Στην Λέσβο την Μ. Εβδομάδα η πανέμορφη Βασίλισσα της Ιορδανίας Ρανια
 
Does she need to go that far to see the refugees ?? There are already two full camps in her own country. I think it will be better if she starts with Zatari camp for example.

After Pope's visit to Lesvos, I instantly made the thought that also QR could come to see and the other day I saw it in some news sites. It was expected for me. All the influential persons which have visited greek islands try to make people to concern about this huge problem. It is devastating to hear every day for babies lost in the sea...really devastating, unbearable. Every person must help with his own way

True, she could but if she visits refugee's in a different country, I personally think it makes a better media coverage.

Me too ,but i think this visit will cost her alot of criticism inside Jordan because since the beginning of the Syrian crisis five years ago she never visited any of the camps in Jordan. As we all know,specially now days ,the refuge crisis is a major issue for Jordanians as their government statistics indicate that the Syrian refugees now making up a high proportion of Kingdom`s population.

i totally agre with you Rossina,there is nothing bad in visiting refugees in othere countries i think it's right move after talking so much about them these last months but she should first visit their camps in Jordan almost everyone has visited expect her and giving her humanitarian statue around the world it's abit strange,there is no doubt her visit to greece if it happen will bring alot of covereage but will also bring to her criticism especially some inside jordan are criticising her for nothing and everything.
 
I agree with you. She could have visited the Zaatari camp there Syrian people also have a bad conditions.

A Greek reliable news site (http://www.ethnos.gr/diethni/arthro...sbo_h_basilissa_rania_tis_iordanias-64364469/) referred about Royal Court's official statement but as I said I searched but I found nothing. They may mean the Jordan Embassy's in Athens affirmation about the visit. Sure there is some kind of statement which we don't know, a statement with all these details about the duration of the visit, strictly two hours, at Kara Tepe camp only etc

I really find it strange that there is no official statement yet. Tomorrow is the day when QR is supposed to visit the island. I really doubt it.

Dont worry dear. I think they will release the statement tomorrow after the visit. Sometimes the royal court & Petra are not announcing any info or details about the queen`s abroad visits. At least this time we have a confirmation from AFP & Greek reliable sources.
