Turkish Labor & Social Security Minister Faruk Celik supported a German draft law on integration and social participation. “This is a very important draft law,” said Celik, and expressed hope that it would become law soon.
“North Rhine-Westphalia is the state where Turks had the highest population,” said Celik prior to his meeting with Guntram Schneider, the Minister of Labor, Integration & Social Affairs of Germany’s North Rhine-Westphalia, in Ankara on Tuesday.
Celik said that 25 percent of trade between Turkey and Germany was made in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Noting that nearly one million Turks were living in this state, Celik said that Turks were the most crowded migrants in the state.
Celik said that minister Schneider had a constructive stance and unprejudiced views towards Turks, adding that Schneider appointed a Turk as an undersecretary to him as soon as he was elected the office.
Meanwhile, Schneider offered his condolences and said that Germany was ready to help following an earthquake that hit Turkey’s eastern province of Van, killing 366 people and injuring 1,301 others.
He said that some of the Turks in Germany had several problems, adding that Germany shaped some integration policies including education and employment for them.
Schneider said that cultural diversity was a richness, adding that they were against assimilation.
