Omid Nouripour: “In the war, a burden for life is to grow up”
The bed in the be recently to the world come son would be, should stand at the window of the children’s room. So I wanted anyway, his wife, told the members of the Bundestag Omid Nouripour in the DW-Interview of the week. He himself was opposed with the utmost determination. Why, he couldn’t explain yourself, says Nouripour. It was only when he went in, it was clear to him: the window may shatter – for example, in the case of pressure waves. This had experienced Nouripour, the son of Iranian immigrants, as a child himself – at the time of the first Gulf war, fought between Iran and Iraq. “The idea that my child is lower, while the washer is broken and fragmented, which has caused me immense anxiety.”
It’s a reminder from the past that triggers a concern, in Nouripours is – after 30 years in Germany – not-so-new home, there is no reason. However, the history shows, what memories people carry around as they feel the present on the basis of age, but part of unprocessed impressions and rate. These different experiences, so Nouripour, one of the challenges that need to be overcome in the Integration process.

Traumatic Experiences
Unequal traumatizing scissors experiences as he, himself, believes Nouripour, deceiving many of today’s refugees. Some time ago, he did help the establishment of a children’s organisation in Lebanon, visited, took care mainly to Syrian refugee children. At this time the city of Homs under heaviest shelling. “And if you went into this room, and before, knew, here, children from Homs, one could see at a glance who is and who is not. These are children who have experienced things that can’t take a soul.”
Such experiences, it is important in dealing with war refugees, to consider generally. “It is not a question that each individual gets a total care that is neither affordable nor useful. We must always think that the people of psycho-bring logical a burden.”
Successful Integration
Nouripour was Born in 1975, was 13 years old when his parents came with him from Iran to Germany. With the host country, says the foreign policy spokesman of the Greens, he has made from the beginning, a good experience, especially for language acquisition. That was relatively smooth, triple he Anke comrades, especially his school. “I laugh not, I simply explained quietly how it is. And this is among teenagers, I think, is not always normal.”

At all, says Nouripour: The Integration is very much of the society of sports clubs, neighbourhood assistance, Operated by unions and employers. “All of this is interconnected. And helps people that you will find. So it was with me.”
Against blind acceptance
Understanding means for Nouripour, however, not blind acceptance. Refugees who break laws and become violent, had to encounter: “You have to explain to people the rules. At the same time it is necessary to make clear that these rules apply actually, and that your injuries will not be tolerated.”
In relation to violence and intolerance, they should show no tolerance. “Therefore, the question of the value of mediation is always connected solid with very clear rules. And with the limits that you have to have.”
Integration needs rules. Scene from Freiburg
The Integration, so it looks Nouripour, follows a few Central ideas. First and foremost, the refugees would have to follow the law. Also, you would have to make an effort to take advantage of the opportunities that offer the country. The host society had to contribute something – however: “Since it is not a matter that we that is all the time all-round support packages delivered, neither the Job, nor useful for this society.” In addition, people could do what pleased them.
