> Erdogan has solid approval ratings among German based Turks
This is nothing unusual for emigrants to support the preserving, conservative and strong-arm political position for their former home countries because many feel obligated to do so.
The demographics of formerly rural Turks that immigrated to Germany is also relevant but I think the feeling of obligations for such "defensive" choices is a main driver. You can see this trend with a lot of immigrants, Turks are just an example here.

It's also common among Russians, but having witnessed it personally more than once, I don't think it's the case of "obligations". Most of those people sincerely believe in all that propaganda their mother country churns out.
