Since Thursday, Turks living abroad have also been able to cast their votes in Austria for the elections in Turkey. What do Vorarlbergers with Turkish roots think about the upcoming election?
VOL.AT asked around at the Dornbirn exhibition center and asked Turkish citizens what they thought about the election in two weeks.
Not only did many people not even want to comment on the election, opinions are also divided on the question of whether Turks living abroad should be allowed to vote.
This is how Vorarlbergers with Turkish roots think
Eslem from Lustenau sees this as a problem: “Many vote with the thought that they will return. But they usually don’t do that. I don’t think that’s correct.” Habib, originally from Berlin, sees this opportunity as important. After all, they are also fellow citizens. He himself will fly to Turkey to cast his vote.
