@Paradise Chronicle: there seems to be a discrepancy between ALT1 and the article; is he the first turkish VP of this office, or the first non-german VP? they should probably match. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 07:24, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Theleekycauldron He is both, but I see your point. I've adapted the article lead from Turkish to migrant.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:18, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
