Erdogan's call for Germany's colonization

A Turkish march through the institutions?

This commentary on the much debated question of the Turkish Minister Erdogan's call for Turkish schools and universities in Germany, his demand for learning the German language and integration - but radical rejection of assimilation contains, besides the extract part of his speech, no other websites or resources, but is only my opinion and experience as a writer dar. But with over 20 years international experience - that is, a time when I even foreigners working in foreign countries was - I may have to contribute some thoughts and observations that may be one or the other for thought.

First, however, the excerpt from the speech of Erdogan:

Today you have achieved in Germany alone
numerical strength of nearly three million. You have now
contributed for 47 years with your work, your efforts to ensure that
Germany is progressing, that Germany is in Europe and the world a
powerful country. They have worked on the one hand, on the other hand,
you have tried yourself, your identity, Your culture, your traditions preserve
. Your eyes and your ears were always directed at Turkey.
the fact that you have kept for 47 years, your language, your beliefs, your values, your culture
, but above all that you have always supported each other
this fact lies beyond all recognition.

I understand the sensitivity you show towards assimilation
, very good. Nobody can expect you to tolerate assimilation.
No one can expect from you that you submit to assimilation.
Because assimilation is a crime against humanity, you should contact the
be aware of.

But we must also take note of the following: You can
in Germany today, in Europe today, in today's world, no more than "the other" as one who is only here temporarily ,
look, do not and view,. The Turkish community has spent
the full 47 years for this country. Not only in Germany,
many European countries is approaching the number of our citizens almost five million. It is remarkable that Despite this immense use, despite the numerical strength, certain fundamental problems in these Countries are still not on the agenda. Of course, our children will learn Turkish. This is to share your native language and it is your natural right
your native language to your children.

However, you would if you learn the language of the country you live in the
, or even more languages to benefit in every aspect of it
. Look, many of our children here learn at an early age
no foreign languages. These children are confronted with German until
when they start school. And that means that these children
in comparison to other students, the school career with a disadvantage of 1 - 0 must begin
. But it would be for you and your children in any way
be advantageous if you exhaust the possible maximum, which the
offers good local school system to you.

you will have a job, you are taking public services in
claim. If the language of the country do not speak, not
learn, you inevitably fall into a situation of disadvantage.

Next: For years, an attitude has prevailed, by a distance
to politics in this country over foreign policy, the
Domestic Policy, social policy was characterized. But should the Turkish community
be with her three million people in the position to exercise in the German political landscape
influence to achieve effects.
(shouting "Turkey is proud of you'')

Why should we not in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, in the other European countries also have mayors?

Why should we not agents and
groups in the political parties?

Why should we
in the German Parliament, in the EU Parliament does not have more representatives?
Why should our views in the formulation of social policy
countries in which we live, are not taken seriously?

assimilation. assimilation means "align incorporate, merge. If a government structure that part of the immigrant population incorporated - as the first in Germany with Szcimaniaks the Wischnewski, the ... is done for Poland, so they live today as German feel to be a German, married to Germans - only the assumed name of the Father still says something about their origins. But no one came today to the idea not to consider them as German. They were originally built and have been assimilated in the course of a generation or two (adjusted). They have also represented the interests of Germany in politics - be it only to Mr. Wischnewski ("Ben Wisch") recalls, it is very positive memories.

If we let the Green Alliance's parody of the German language aside - and I mean this "citizens with migration background" - so there is a distinction based on three criteria:

1. the non-permanent workers (Official German: residence permit) who works for a number of years of financial interest in another country and live


2. the long term in this country living, which will eventually assume the citizenship of the host country ( ad: residency or citizenship - then with full rights and obligations)


3. represents those whose home country, a dictatorship, where he was politically persecuted in the host country and now receive political asylum.

In the history of Germany, there have been the first group. It has been since the industrialization of Poland, who came to the Ruhr area and mainly home in Germany and were more and more in the second group (b) changed. After the war, there was only the Italians who returned mostly back to Italy - just like most other Europeans. In recent decades, there were also Turks who could give their wives in Anatolia, daughters with "honor killing" followed and in the vast majority of the partout non-integrated, ghettos formed and often placed on learning the language no value even their "small-Ankara" founded and have rather seen that they located on a colonization of the host country.

However, there was also German, which is in other countries had issued:

1. the category of expatriates working for German and international companies abroad, the stay is usually strictly limited and tied to the employment contract.


2. German who emigrated permanently - for example, about two hundred years after Russia, America or Australia - and more recently in Switzerland or EU countries, then rare in the United States, Canada or Russia.


3. During an inglorious chapter of German history, many German immigrants of all religions, but mainly members of the Jewish faith, as political refugees from. In the postwar years was this movement to a halt and took in the recent past again.

two decades, I was even on the first category. Thus, I also knew the problems of integration or assimilation. If you have a certain level of education has, is the integration in general no problem assimilating in the sense of adaptation is a slow process and finds its limits in your discipline, your own morality and their specific requirements and also in the context of daily contacts. According to their activities abroad can "slip" as someone with little background very easily, which I noticed in the vast majority of the observations. German glide abroad also, from a lack of orientation in a right-wing camp - which they by the way not very different from less educated Turks. However, the environment consists of business executives, administrative directors, ministers, and also to together, remains our own patterns of behavior almost unchanged - assimilation takes place only in the manners. Assimilation would thus take place until the second or third generation - but would remain preserved the social standard.

The observed Turks in Germany, the problem lies in the vast majority of cases, but much different. It outweighs the proportion of Turks, although for purely financial reasons the work competed in Germany - but lack of preparation and lack of language skills so that very soon tended to ghettoization. The prime example is Berlin's Kreuzberg district, also called "small Ankara. Within the ghetto there are customs and traditions, even as in the deepest Anatolia. There may also be someone of the German language to be powerful - he is inevitably caught up with his surroundings and marked. And that the Turkish guest workers in Germany for 47 years "spent" have is a bold thesis - he was the significantly higher salary because, it was even his apartment in Turkey from the "expenditure" buy - but he must therefore mitkaufen not equal political rights in Germany.

Then, if still a politician - even worse, a prime minister - the community of foreigners calling to embark a march through the institutions, to undermine the policies to shape the policies of the host country in accordance with individual needs, then comes to me the same ridiculous, as if I had said at the time in the host country of the President: "Écoute mon vieux, moi ta cede place!" As a foreigner, I HAD to respect the cultural form of the host country, I can not minister to say what he has to do - it can at I present the President the facts and realize that it in my presence his ministers' together failed .. as a Ro lounging. '. Such a thing has, however, history - and it's my secret to which country it is. But there is always at the discretion of the owner - the President in the given case, because he is without any ifs and buts host of his country.

This same law would also be the host, the same social status and equal education to give when you have someone as a neighbor - or more generally to do with someone who has. esteem and respect are, finally, the landmark for the country someone comes from, as well as their own home.

The ideal case of emigrating, if you already mastered the language, history and culture of the country's decision and know the country already loves, not less or more than your own home. You have to feel connected with the soul of the country and its people.

is often unpleasant male behavior, Turkish youth in Germany - which hardly stands out from the standard of honesty saw Turkish officers - during the last one, and certainly stay in Turkey. Only 'cheap' is not a preference criterion. So may then wonder also Turks, so to them over a certain reserve can prevail.

is no less presumptuous is the desire to set up in Germany, Turkish schools or even universities. That may make it to Turkey in Turkey itself. There are plenty of Turkish students at German universities, and as such, they are welcome, too - because education is also stressed by standard and manners. Similarly, there are no objections, if Turkey can get their consulates in their Turkish Turkish lessons children - because if they intend to undertake further training in Turkey. Or imagine institutions would be similar to the Goethe Institute, where courses are offered. Certainly, such Institute will soon be "overcrowded" with interested parties in the Turkish language. Widespread Anglophone cultural centers, the Centre Culturel Français, are Italian and English groups of friends. Next nationwide Pushkin Institute would certainly welcome. From a German perspective, it is always a benefit to learn foreign languages - but it must be the right one!

The passion of the debate that has arisen over the presence of Prime Minister Erdogan in Cologne, suggests that in the Cologne Arena only banana peels were designed. He may, many Turkish voters in Germany have won - but no more. For colonization Germany, Turkey needs many, many decades - if not eternity - to the deep trench advised by the foreclosure.
