#3 "The Turkish premier said many of the 2.7 million people of Turkish origin in Germany had problems learning German."

How can they live and thrive in a country if they ~~won't~~ can't learn the language?

If the Turks living in Germany "can't" learn the language, maybe they'd be happier moving back to Turkey, where they can speak the language. Just sayin'....

#4 many of the 2.7 million people of Turkish origin in Germany had problems learning German

Is he saying Turks are too dumb to learn the language of the country where they were born and live? Good thing they only send us the smart ones.

#5 Given that most of the Turks in Germany by now must be second and third generation, if they can't speak the language it's because the parents are fools. If they want to learn in Turkish, let them go back to Turkey for their schooling. PM Erdogan is trying for colonization paid for by the benighted natives.

#6 Oh, and the German schools in Turkey are no doubt expensive private schools, not state-supported public ones. The American school my Turkish girlfriend graduated from certainly was. She is now a professor at U. of Michigan, a nice little school, so her parents' investment paid off. ;-)
