Up to 80 percent of the sizable Turkish community in Germany feel discriminated against, a new study has revealed.

Five years ago, only 65 percent of the estimated 2.1 million Turks in Germany felt they were being treated as second-class citizens compared to 80 percent in 2004, said the study released Friday, November 26, by the Turkish Studies Center in the Rhein region.

It warned that such discrimination could push the community members into isolations and a ghetto life."
