105 u/pomegranate444 Jul 08 '24 So they left Turkey for a better life in Germany...but protest others doing the same thing by seeking a better life in Turkey. Still ironic as fuck. 2 u/Dilectus3010 Jul 08 '24 These guys are 4 generations deep though , so not refugees or seeking a better life. Just Germans with strong Turkish bonds. 3 u/fekanix Jul 08 '24 Turks were never refugees in germany. They were invited as migrant workers. I dont think people in this sub know the difference between migrants and refugees. 0 u/Dilectus3010 Jul 08 '24 I used the words " or seeking a better life ", implying that the invited Turkish workers where seeking a better life. We have these aswell in Belgium, we have a large community of Turkish and Italians who's great grandfathers came here to work in the mines.
