[edit] Flag of the Germany Turks

This flag was designed by 2 Turkish immigrants in Germany (2006) and distributed by approx. 10,000 copies to the German Turks in a quantity during the soccer World Cup. Such a flag also hangs in my hometown in the "German-Turkish culture organization". This flag serves the Turks as a symbol to her state understanding to Germany today. She is therefore a recognized flag of the Germany Turks meanwhile! Postl Michi 20:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] wrong flag

nobody use this flag, the türkish people in germany use the flag from turkey. this ise a fake.now i cant believe wikipedia. please change it now tarkan from a turk from germany

@ Tarkan: It is conscious for me that this flag isn't a recognized minority flag. But the about 3,000 Turks in my hometown use this flag next to the Turkish flag. It is fact that this flag was used for the World Cup by Turks in approx. 10,000 pieces in Germany. Perhaps we can reach an agreement that we insert this addition under the picture description. What is your opinion? Postl Michi 03:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

postmann you ar a lier say wich city please dont lie! but perhaps 100% of turks in germany use the turky flag so the right flag is the turkey flag

@Tarkan (?): Once, I cordially thank you Tarkan ... for the "compliment" made by you!

So you have the 100 per cent comprehension?

Ah, yes ...I understand ....

You study once right communication and then we continue to talk here! Postl Michi 21:55, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Turks in Germany use traditionaly the Turkish flag, but especially during the 2006 World Cup this 'Turkish-German' flag was also used (example: many Döner Kebab shops used it in Stuttgart where I lived at that time) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.164.239.45 (talk) 17:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] number of turks

the whole number of turks living in germany is 2.2 million. 1.7 million with turkish citizenship [1], 465,000 those who have got the german citizenship (to read in Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Ausländerfragen: Daten und Fakten zur Ausländersituation.) and 50,000 those who have lost the german citizenship [2] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.142.87.25 (talk) 16:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

There's a confusion here between Turk as citizen of the republic of Turkey and Turk as ethnic Turkish-speaking person. A high percentage of "German Turks" are actually Kurds, and in some local consultative councils for migrants seats are allocated separately for Turks and Kurds. --Pylambert 14:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] footballers

kein schwein kennt diese spieler abgesehen von Scholl, Bastürk und evtl noch Tasci

von daher ---> nicht erwähnenswert

außerdem ist Scholl auch nur ein halber türke

und die Altintops spielen für die Türkei, sind also nur legionäre

translation:

NO ONE knows those football players, apart from Scholl, Bastürk and perhaps Tasci

---> not worth mentioning

besides Scholl is only half turkish

and the Altintop brothers play for Turkey, which means they are just legionnaires
