Questions of synthesis

Activity:

  • Turks expel Armenians and Greeks after the founding of Turkey; Yugoslavia: the successor states expel minorities under primacy of ethnic cleansing.
  • People who immigrate to, for example, Germany today, are “forced” to this by most diverse reasons: partly, people are politically persecuted even today (for example because they belong to a political or religious minority) or they emigrate because they hope be able to lead an economically better life in their host country. Yet, these reasons cannot be compared to systematic detentions as in Czechoslovakia or in a).
