German opposition backs Gul's criticism

Turkish President Abdullah Gul's criticism of Germany's new immigration integration law, which requires language tests for immigrants to the country, has drawn support from some German political parties that also oppose the requirement. "We reject language tests and courses that people have to pass before their arrival to Germany, if they wish to immigrate," Aydan Ozoguz, a member of parliamentfrom the Social Democrat Party, orSPD, said on Monday.
