For the second time, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has invited migrant, refugee and minority group representatives to an integration summit. The meeting is making headlines across Europe and particularly in Turkey as the country's main Turkish organizations will be boycotting tomorrow's talk shop. Interestingly, their protest is less aimed at the government's integration plans, which have plenty of deficiencies as they stand. Instead, they are using the occassion to express their unhappiness about a clause in the recently amended foreigner law, which makes it more difficult for immigrants to bring their spouses to the country. Turkish organizations argue that the law is discriminatory: Germans that want to bring their immigrant wife to the country face fewer obstacles, than immigrants in the same situation. The IHT and Der Spiegel have articles on the issue and we will cover the results tomorrow and throughout the weekend.
