Repatriation of Croatians agreed
artdoc July=1994
On 25 April, Germany signed an agreement with Croatia whereby
around 70,000 Croatians who fled to Germany will be returned. A
limited amnesty for war-resisters and deserters will not protect
all the deportees from prosecution. The Federal Interior Minister
said it was important to show that war and civil war refugees
could not stay in Germany indefinitely. Also in April, a number
of Kurdish asylum-seekers from Turkey have been or are being
deported after participating in demonstrations in March, despite
the worsening situation in south and eastern Turkey, where the
security forces are waging war on the Kurdish population.
