TURKISH DIASPORA IN GERMANY: SUCCESSES AND PROBLEMS OF INTEGRATION INTO WESTERN SOCIETY
The article briefly describes the history of the emergence of the Turkish diaspora in Germany. To date, according to the Turkish Foreign Ministry, the number of Turks living in Germany is 3.4 million, of which 1.6 million have German citizenship. Successful examples of the integration of Germans of Turkish origin into the political, scientific, cultural and sports life of Germany are considered in detail. At the same time, it is noted that being in German realities, successful Germans with Turkish roots defend the interests of the FRG, and not their historic homeland, as the Turkish authorities would like. In addition, there is a tendency towards an outflow of highly qualified personnel of Turkish origin, the share of which is small, to Turkey or the United States. Separately, it is said that the activation of Ankara's diaspora policy with the coming to power of the Justice and Development Party impeded the full implementation of the integration policy in Germany.
