They misspelled the Kanzlerin's name in here. Angela Merkel, not Angel. :)

"The opinions represented in the survey show that we have to do more to strengthen the feeling of belonging for those in Germany with Turkish backgrounds," said Germany's Integration Commissioner Maria Boehmer. "The 2.7 million people in Germany from Turkish families belong to us; they're an important part of our society."
Also on Thursday, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed regret that German Chancellor Merkel did not attend the mass rally he held for Turkish immigrants during his visit to Cologne in February.
"If we had stood on the stage together there, it would have been a message to the German society and a motivation to the Turks living in Germany," said Erdogan in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "We can make it up whenever Ms. Merkel likes."
- To delve further, we are dealing with diametrically opposed DEFINITIONS of assimilation:
Erdogan had attracted criticism in Germany when, during the rally, he warned Turks in Germany not to lose their culture. Merkel had responded by saying she didn't share the prime minister's view of integration.
"Assimilation is tantamount to a crime against humanity," Erdogan had said in February.
