• To change the asylum system so that all asylum applications processed in refugee camps outside Europe rather than in Norway.
• to notify Norway of the Refugee Convention additional protocol of 1967, which means that foreigners from Africa, Asia and South America is no longer entitled to apply for asylum in Norway. This applies if the asylum system does not change

– Norwegians can not build up Syria

Former head of Oslo Progress, Christian Tybring-Gjedde, said from the pulpit that the whole point of the institution of asylum is that asylum seekers will return home and rebuild the country when it is safe enough.

– it may not be Americans, Britons or Norwegians who will rebuild Syria. they have to do yourself, he said in his speech to the audience .

Before the proposals were adopted, he told NRK why he will not remove the option to permanent residence.

– the people who have protection needs after five years, I may become a part of the Norwegian community and eventually become Norwegian citizens. One can not say to people after 20 or 30 years that they can never be here permanently, said Keshvari NRK.

When asked how it feels that his own local party wants a policy that would have sent him back to Iran as soon as it was safe enough, he replied:

– I have no problems with that people have different proposals for solutions. On a personal level, I take it with devastating calm that one can have different opinions and beliefs.
