Erdogan: Criticism of speech in Dusseldorf

The Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan and his wife Emine on Sunday night in Dusseldorf in Germany should be growing up Turkish children has been estimated by the Federal Government to learn at least as good as German Turkish. This assessment was of Seibert government spokesman in Berlin on Monday. He disagrees with the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who had called in Dusseldorf, Turkish children should first learn their mother tongue.


Erdogan's speech was one which the Federal Government but also contained many positive things, "said Seibert. These included the unequivocal call for integration and the emphasis on language acquisition and education. Westerwelle also opposed the demand Erdogan, Turkish children in Germany should first learn their mother tongue.

"The children who grow up in Germany, must first of all, learn German," he said. Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle (FDP) has described learning the German language as "a key to integration 'of migrants in Germany. "The children who grow up in Germany, must first of all learn German," Westerwelle said on Monday in Berlin.

Without the German language, "they are not in school and later have fewer opportunities than others." Erdogan had called during a speech before 10,000 people at the country Sunday night in Dusseldorf to the integration of Turks living in Germany, but at the same time, but turned against assimilation.

"Yes to integration, no to assimilation. No one can deprive us of our culture, "said Erdogan, adding:" Our children need to learn German, but they must first learn Turkish, "he said. (See also: Erdogan: No to assimilation) already during his visit to Germany three years ago, Erdogan had held a similar position and then gave rise to a dispute.

The Turkish prime minister opened on Monday with Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) in the computer fair CeBIT Hannover, in which Turkey is this year's partner country. The CSU requested the summons of the Turkish Ambassador to Germany because of Erdogan's speech. CSU General Secretary Alexander Dobrindt said on Monday in Munich, Erdogan has described Turkey as a protector for both in Libya and for the Turks living in Germany.

This comparison of Libya and Germany is inadmissible. Dobrindt also criticized the performance by Erdogan on Sunday have set back the integration efforts for years. It was a "remarkable process" when a foreign head of government to visit in Germany to use his countrymen living here "incite".

CDU Secretary-General Hermann Gröhe said Erdogan pretend that German integration policy objectives aim to cut cultural roots of migrants. "It stirs up mistrust unnecessary." The warnings against Erdogan's xenophobia in Germany and the assimilation of the Turks rejected Gröhe. FDP General Secretary Christian Lindner said Erdogan's speech had a "disturbing character." It was "strange" that Erdogan gave the impression that it is the immigrants from Turkey to a "national minority" constitutes.

"In fact, it goes to the people we want to integrate into our country." Erdogan said on Tuesday a planned visit to the European Union in Brussels. Erdogan will attend the funeral of his mentor and former Islamist leaders Necmettin Erbakan, the Turkish embassy in Brussels said on Monday.

The Prime Minister wants to make up for his visit to Brussels at a later date. Erbakan was on Sunday at the age of 84 years died of heart failure, he should be buried on Tuesday. During the visit of Erdogan in Brussels should be about the stalled negotiations on accession of Turkey to the EU.

Erdogan complained last weekend in terms of the accession negotiations "overt discrimination" of his country. Just as France rejects the government's EU accession from Turkey.
