    Discrimination

    According to Ms Sak, most of the people from the Turkish community are sick of the developments. Many prefer to return to Turkey as they don't see any way out after years-long efforts fighting against racism, social discrimination and Islamophobia.

    "No matter how great of an effort you make to prove yourself that you are successful and wish to live in [harmonious] coexistence, it is impossible. You cannot curry favour with Germans," Ms Sak said.

    Because of this, she says, she lives back and forth between Berlin and Istanbul.

    According to results of a 2013 poll carried out by the Turkish-European Foundation for Education and Scientific Studies (Tavak), the ones who are returning to Turkey mainly belong to the third and fourth generation of Turkish immigrants who were born and raised in Germany.

    They are between 18 and 40 years old
    and leave because "they don't see Germany as a chance for their future".

    Most of them possess fluent German in comparison with their guest-worker parents and grandparents. Nonetheless, these German-Turks still have problems harmonising with German society, where they face serious economic deprivation and discrimination, a move that pushes them to move back to Turkey.

    According to the study, 63,000 Turks returned from Germany to Turkey in 2013. And in the coming years this number is not expected to change much, according to Faruk Sen, the head of Tavak.

    they overstayed their worker visas in the first place and were never intended to be german citizens. this is great news, saves both sides a lot of fighting and bloodshed.

    i have no sympathy towards turks... especially if they're whining about " discrimination " considering the genocide they've been trying to bury for 100 years now
