Great summary of what's going on in the EU nowadays and what these may result in. Germany (and the EU) treated Turkish immigrants extremely poorly for generations and both sides are still suffering from it. As very well known, Turks saved German economy when it needed cheap labor that helped fuel German economic miracle after the WWII. Though this may be wishful thinking, I believe, seeing the results of their policies in the past towards Turks, German government would perceive the fact that it'd be a bigger mistake to blame the current economic conditions on the Turks and/or make them pay for it. It already is time to "integrate", not discriminate further. I am hopeful because most of the Turks in Germany now are German citizens some of whom are born in Germany. But you never know with the EU politics, right? Cheers, Ozlem Thank you for gathering everything and putting them all in a clear cut perspective, Elmira.
