/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Germany has called on Turkish refugees living in
Germany to return to Turkey because they say the country has become
more democratic compared to the past. `If the situation in the
countries where the refugees come from has changed in a positive way
permanently, then the refugees can be asked to go back to their
countries. This is what the 1951 Geneva Convention says. So Germany
officially recognizes that conditions in Turkey have changed
positively and permanently,’ Mehmet Kilic, a lawyer who heads the
Foreigners Assembly in Germany, said. There is also more demand from
the Turkish refugees themselves to return to Turkey as the economic
crisis has hit Germany badly, and Germans have become more hostile
toward foreigners living there,’ Today’s Zaman newspaper quotes Kilic
as saying.
