Of course, the 2011 Census results will be released in November and it is estimated that the population is actually closer to 80 million rather than 82 million, because there have been many people in the registers in the past 25-30 years that either moved abroad without de-registering in their home towns, or moved within Germany without de-registering or simply died. This should be especially the case in Eastern Germany after the fall of the Wall.

Because of Arabians?

[You kip if you want to...]

Probably because other Europeans are moving there, with it being the only safe haven in the Union.

Isn't the Turkish population in Germany growing as well? That's what I've been hearing, at least.

And now I want to hear someone speak German with a Turkish accent.

Sweden's not in the EU any longer?

Not in any effective or relevant sense.
