Turkey's Swiss passport denied, news echo reaches China

Since the Swiss press has been published, the Turkish girl's “interrogation protocol, in opinion, has also erupted with officials responsible for all this madness.

There are hundreds of cases when a stranger to Switzerland is refused naturalization and nobody handles it. But working with the young Turkish Funda Yilmaz is different from the town of Buchs of Arigau Canton. Although born, raised and educated in Switzerland, while Turkey only recognises it from summer holidays, the Fund has faced rejection of its application for the Swiss passport. After this refusal has come because of absurd and very banal causes, its case has echoed sharply, already even outside Switzerland.

Since the Swiss press has also been published, the Turkish girl's “interrogation protocol, in opinion, has also erupted with officials responsible for all this foolishness.

The newspaper Arigauerzeitung has made a summary of foreign press reactions, ranging from one in the neighbourhood to the German and French to the American, Turkish and even Chinese press, whose focus is the “Funda”.

Thus, German magazine “Der Spiegel” writes: “Switzerland is its home country, but that's not enough for her to get the Swiss passport. Among the causes of rejection is that it buys in “Aldi” (German trade net).

While German Zeit Online, as a trigger for the new Turkish passport rejection, puts the banal fact that it has no knowledge about the pouring of used oil () and the sharing of waste. While concerning the protocol, the paper writes that it is an example of how authorities' arbitration is rarely described so well.

Regarding the pouring of oil used also speaks Süddeutsche Zeitung, which explains to its readers how you can gain Swiss citizenship, referring here to some less clear and concrete criteria.

French newspaper “L Express” puts this title: “Do you want to emigrate? A Swiss-based foreigner fails to complete the naturalisation test”, albinfo broadcasts. chGazeta further, to stress the absurdity of the criteria, mentions the case of the Kosovo family, which has been denied Swiss passports on the pretext that they come out on the street dressed in “entenerka” (tuta).

It also writes “The Guardian”. Should foreigners know how the oil used to be Swiss? Do the foreigners who buy at the village store deserve Swiss passport more than those who buy in a supermarket? And: What kind of sport is Hornussen (a traditional Swiss game between baseball and golf).

While Turkish media are understated that they will deal with the fate of their “binia”. “After not knowing the name of the village butcher, a Turkish woman in Switzerland has been refused Swiss citizenship” writes “arti+33”, further developing the debate this case has sparked in Switzerland.

The roof of these reactions must have been the Chinese press. So “The News Lens” in Chinese writes: “Can you become Swiss citizens if you don't know the local businesses and traditional sports of Switzerland? The paper even explains with a particular article what kind of sport he is “Hornussen”: “A sport of Swiss peasants”./ Taken from Albinfo
