OFFICIAL ANKARA THREATENS GERMANY WITH DISRUPTION OF EXCELLENT
TURKISH- GERMAN RELATIONS

YEREVAN, MARCH 4. ARMINFO. Necessary measures to prevent adoption of
draft resolution ”Commemoration of Armenians on the 90th anniversary
of their relocation and massacre on April 24th, 1915 – Germany should
contribute to provide peace between Turks and Armenians” were taken
both in Ankara and Belrin. Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesman Namik
Tan said on Wednesday. He said that Turkey believed that German
governmental party would not support the draft resolution prepared by
the opposition on the so-called Armenian genocide, Turkish press
reports. The question about the draft resolution will be submitted to
the German federal parliament in April, by CDU/CSU group. Recalling
that this was an initiative of the German opposition, Tan said, ”we
believe this will not be advocated by governmental party.”

He said necessary initiatives were made both in Ankara and Berlin to
prevent the draft resolution be adopted, and noted that decisions
taken in the parliaments of third countries did not help overcoming
problems between Turkey and Armenia.

”We believe that the issue will be assessed by both parties to
prevent disruption of excellent Turkish- German relations.”
