The German President Christian Wulff has urged the three million Turks living in Germany to learn the German language from an early age to help them integrate. Mr Wulff was addressing the Turkish parliament just days after the German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that multiculturalism in Germany had been a failure. From Istanbul, Jonathan Head reports.
President Wulff is a more emollient speaker than Chancellor Merkel, and he was careful to put his points diplomatically to his Turkish hosts. But the message was the same as Mrs Merkel's that the three million strong Turkish minority must be more integrated into German society. President Wulff stressed that integration did not mean giving up Turkish culture and identity. But many Turks still suspect that the integration issue is being used by German politicians to whip up anti-immigrant sentiment.
