"In February this year, Mr Erdogan, the Turkish Prime Minister, gave an extremely controversial speech in Cologne, in which he called assimilation a crime against humanity. From a position of freedom to choose one’s identity, this statement is unacceptable; preserving cultural diversity is an important goal, but the decision cannot be taken away from the individual.
The natural situation for Turks in Western Europe may be dual identity. Erdogan’s requirement for a Turkish-language university in Germany is unrealistic, since in many countries of the Union the indigenous national minorities who have lived there for many hundreds of years do not have their own state university, like the Hungarians in Transylvania, where the Hungarian community was deprived of an independent state university during the Communist dictatorship.
It is important that Turkey does not manipulate the migrant minorities living in Western Europe for interior policy aims. It would also be good if Prime Minister Erdogan put his own house in order in the areas of the situation of the Kurds, acknowledging the genocide of Armenians and equality of rights for women."@en1
