It also discusses the issue of identity and intergenerational conflict in the context of German migration policy. Drawing upon previous studies, the author assesses the reasons for migration and the historical context of relocation of Turkish citizens to Germany. The article also presents observations on the formation of Turkish diasporas, and provides background on the stages of migration since World War II.
