Germany calls on Turkish illegal emigrants to go to their country

PanARMENIAN.Net - Germany has called on Turkish refugees living in Germany to return to Turkey because they say the country has become more democratic compared to the past. "If the situation in the countries where the refugees come from has changed in a positive way permanently, then the refugees can be asked to go back to their countries. This is what the 1951 Geneva Convention says. So Germany officially recognizes that conditions in Turkey have changed positively and permanently," Mehmet Kilic, a lawyer who heads the Foreigners Assembly in Germany, said. There is also more demand from the Turkish refugees themselves to return to Turkey as the economic crisis has hit Germany badly, and Germans have become more hostile toward foreigners living there," Today's Zaman newspaper quotes Kilic as saying.
