DMM issues statement on claim that those without residence rights in Germany will be sent to Turkey

Turkey’s Presidential Communications Directorate Disinformation Combat Center (DMM) denied claims that Germany will deport 500 people without legal residence permits to Turkey on private planes. The DMM said the assertion does not reflect reality, issuing the clarification through its official channels. The denial follows reports that Berlin had earmarked a group of 500 irregular Turkish residents for removal by chartered aircraft. The episode highlights how migration logistics between Ankara and Berlin can quickly become a politically sensitive story in both countries. Watch for official statements from Germany’s interior ministry and any updated deportation figures to confirm the actual scope of returns.
