Never-theless the integration of Turks is not primarily due to economic conditions as your article might suggest, but it is a common cultural task that Germans and Turks must face together. Some Turkish people are not eager to learn German, thus missing out on the most important tool for integration. I do not blame the Turks for their habits, I just want to emphasize that there is still a long way to go to achieve full integration, and that some of the obstacles are independent of the economy.
