Increasing numbers of highly skilled German-Turkish labourers leave Germany behind and return to their parents’ country of origin. Business people, IT professionals or engineers turn their backs at a job market that does not provide them with the same chances like their non-migrant German peers, and turn to a country they hardly know. In Turkey, employers are happy about the well trained bilingual professionals. While politicians fight about immigration caps, the numbers show a reverse trend: While 26,600 Turks moved to Germany in 2008, 34,800 left Germany and moved to Turkey.
