A Study on the Function and Role of the Organizations of Turkish Migrants in Germany

The purpose of this study is to understand the function and role of the organizations of Turkish migrants in Germany. Their immigrant organizations have an important influence on the political behavior of immigrants in Germany. The Turkish migrant organizations can be divided into the religious, political, and business associations. But these organizations are not homogeneous and are different in terms of their background, strategy and goals, while participating in politics and negotiating their positions. These organizations are able to play an important role both in integrating Turkish migrants and contributing to solving the sociocultural and economic problems of the Turkish community. They (not incorrect, just a bit repetitive) must cooperate more with each other by overcoming their ideological rivalries to find solutions for their common socio-economic problems, to contribute to integrating Turkish community in Germany.
