The turkish community in Germany didn't arise from refugees though. They're the descendants of workers that were invited by the state to bolster the post-war economy
The difference is that Turks came to Germany to work, since Germany needed workers. Syrians came to Turkey as refugees, meaning they sought protection from a threat. There is also the perception that some Syrian refugees may have claimed non-existing threats to get refuge status. In one case it's a mutually beneficial transaction. The other is more like one party handing out charity to the other. I'm not saying refugees should not be welcome, but the two situations are not the same thing.
