Merkel, Erdogan discuss adoption of resolution on Armenian Genocide by German Bundestag
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met in Warsaw on the sidelines of the NATO summit and discussed, among other issues, the adoption of a resolution on the Armenian Genocide by the German Bundestag. A source close to the Turkish President says Erdogan expressed his disappointment with the resolution adopted by the Bundestag. The source reports that Angela Merkel assured the Turkish President that she would do everything possible to exclude the influence of the resolution on the relations between Turkey and Germany. The interlocutors also discussed the issue of the Syrian crisis and refugees. In an interview with reporters shortly after the meeting with Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the German Chancellor said she had a constructive meeting with the Turkish President. Reuters reminds that this is the first meeting between the two leaders after the German Parliament adopted a resolution, recognizing the Armenian Genocide.
