"The situation of Ethnic Germans and Ethnic Turks

Restoration of citizenship in Turkey and Germany
Both Turkey and Germany can look back on a long history of all types of migration. On many occasions, their migration history has been directly and intimately connected with one other, and there are also parallels when they are being considered as receiving countries for immigrants. A large number of immigrants that generally fall out of the statistics are the people who claim restoration of citizenship. Where do these people come from respectively and what were the historical reasons for that? How familiar are they with the culture and language of their new home countries and what problems – if any – do they face on their arrival and during the course of integration? What is the situation like for those who have stayed and what role do the governments in these citizenship restoration processes play? These are questions that this article will address, with a focus on a comparison between the case of Turkey and Germany."
