ANKARA, 22 June 2019 [Fik/News Sources]: As thousands of migrants flock to the borders along the Mexico, an expert here believed that the problem was created by the U.S. itself, by engineering military and covert operations and also by economic interventions, in the Central American nations over past many decades.
