BUNDESTAG ADOPTED RESOLUTION ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

Politics

The Bundestag adopted draft resolution “Day of Commemoration on occasion of mass slaughters of Armenians in 1915. Germany should contribute to reconciliation of Armenians and Turks” submitted by the Christian Democratic Union.

The document avoids the term “genocide” however it contains paragraph, which states that many independent experts, parliaments and international organizations define the mass killing of Armenians as Genocide.

The resolution says that the Bundestag regrets over the tragedy of the Armenian people, bows to the Genocide victims and asks the Armenian people for their forgiveness, as partly through approval and through failure to take effective preventive measures there was a German co-responsibility for this genocide.
