Erdogan says to Turks in Germany: 'You Are Part of Germany, But Also Part of Our Great Turkey'
http://www.spiegel.de/international/...748070,00.html
On a visit to Germany, Erdogan told German Turks to 'integrate into German society, but do not assimilate'. I am sure the Germans are pleased to learn that part of their population is part of Erdogan's 'greater Turkey'.

Sounds like how China views Chinese-Americans.

Erdogan dreams of new Ottoman Empire. Fortunately, most Turkish expats do not give a damn about that.

Erdogan did not say the second part "part of greater Turkey" , who made that up ?
Most of the Turks in germany are not german citizens, of course they are part of Turkey as citizens, that does not make them invaders or 5th army ...

Actually some westerN media tries to portray turkey as being in sought of the ottoman empire, nothing like that here. Stating that we are equals does not mean we are after imperialistic dreams
