So thats another 7-8 million added recently. The official figures of Kurds in Germany is around 500.000, while Turks are 2 millions. Whenever you actually ask people in Germany, be it Turks or Kurds, they say it is almost opposite.
Here in Denmark, it is said that Turks are the biggest ethnic minority. But it becomes clear to everyone that this is false and that Kurds are actually the biggest minority ethnicity in Denmark.
The confussion is due to pasports. There is no Kurdish passports. No Kurdish ethnicity other than in KRG and Iraq. Kurds are either Turks, Iraqis, Iranians or Syrians as nationality.
I agree completely - I am in England and Kurdish people entering the UK from Turkey were classed as TURKISH. Even the local government officials and councils have not kept records on whether those coming from Turkey are in fact Kurdish
