Germany: Merkel calls for 'bilingualism and integration' for Turkish immigrants


Angela Merkel


Is assimilation the same as "bilingualism and integration"? Has Merkel really softened her stance as I feared some days ago?
She said both languages should be taught, highlighting the importance of bilingualism and the integration of immigrants into German society.

"What is unacceptable is for this to be an excuse for Turks living in Germany not to learn the German language. The language of the country one lives in is the precondition for good integration," said Merkel, stressing that the goal was not assimilation.

"This is about everybody keeping their roots, their culture and their belief, but those of the third and fourth generation living in Germany should be able to participate in our social life."
