Germany is a melting pot of people from different countries. To obtain a driver’s license, theory exams are held in 12 languages ​​in addition to. Few, if we consider that Kurds are at the top of the list of migrants who cannot take the driver's license exam using their mother tongue, although their population exceeds 1.5 million.

The Free Democrats Party (FDP), one of the opposition parties in the Bundestag, demanded that the exams be held in many languages, including Kurdish.

Drawing attention to the fact that the integration and working life capacity of refugees have been an important factor in Germany in recent years, the FDP made a proposal to the Federal Assembly in this regard.

Reminding that refugees are not recognized the driving licenses issued in their countries of origin and therefore can only take the theory test in Germany after they have learned German language. Pointing out at the discrimination in this, the FDP requested theory exams in Kurdish, Dari and Farsi languages.

The Federal Government, under the prime ministry of Angela Merkel, has released figures for refugees who came to Germany and whose mother tongue is Kurdish, Dari and Farsi.

According to these figures, 102,040 people who speak the Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish since 2016 have come to Germany and applied for asylum. The number of Persian speakers was announced as 139,386 and the number of Dari speakers as 64,557.

Arabic speakers were the biggest group with 542,000 people coming to Germany in the same time period. As the number of refugees in this language group increased suddenly, the Federal Government approved the driver's license exams to be taken in Arabic.

Speaking to the German Editorial Network (RND), FDP's Pascal Kober said that it is important to implement a similar practice for the Kurdish, Afghan and Iranian refugees who come after Arabic.
