Germany Opens Up to Dual Citizenship
Baku, December 2 (AZERTAC). Germany plans to scrap rules forcing young people with immigrant parents to choose between a German passport and their parents` citizenship, a step that reflects the country`s shifting attitudes toward national identity after decades of immigration.
The deal “sends a signal that [immigrants] are welcome here. It`s a clear signal that we want these young people and they`re part of our society,” Chancellor Angela Merkel said at a news conference Wednesday.
Under the plan, people from migrant backgrounds who were born in Germany will for the first time be able to apply for dual citizenship.
