Political turbulence: Gökay Sofuoglu warns of deportation competition!
Gökay Sofuoglu, chairman of the Turkish community in Germany, expresses alarm about current developments in Germany, particularly with regard to the deportation of Syrians. Sofuoglu is horrified that the discussion about deportation is gaining momentum immediately after the possible overthrow of Bashar al-Assad and warns of a “deportation competition” that could only benefit the extremists. Sofuoglu emphasizes that in this tense situation, politicians should be called upon to “see the people” and take a clear stand so as not to lose sight of the humanitarian needs of refugees, such as The newspaper publisher Waiblingen reported.
Unrest through rhetorical attacks
In another context, Sofuoglu refers to the increasing tensions caused by the statements of the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The president made massive allegations against Germany and said that the situation was hardly under control, which Sofuoglu felt as a "declaration of war". This rhetoric increases the existing tensions among the Turks and Turkish -born people living in Germany and could have serious consequences for living together. In an interview with Germany radio he found that social division and emotional charging will not improve the situation.
The politics that is involved in these events - both in Germany and in Turkey - faces the challenge of calming the mind. Sofuoglu hopes that diplomats on both sides can speak sensibly and ensure that the tensions do not increase further. He appeals to the fact that each party respects the democratic foundations that are necessary for peaceful coexistence.
