/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Measures were undertaken both in Ankara and Berlin
to prevent the adoption of the draft resolution `Commemoration day on
occasion of the 90-th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide – Germany
should contribute to the reconciliation of Turks and Armenians’,
stated Turkish MFA Press Secretary Namik Tan during yesterday’s press
conference. In his words, the adoption of resolutions on the Armenian
Genocide recognition has not contributed to surmount problems
available between Turkey and Armenia so far. N. Tan noted that
official Ankara does believe that the German ruling coalition will
not approve the initiative. `We believe that both parties attach much
importance to the problem and will give a correct assessment to it
thus preventing collapse of the excellent relationships between
Germany and Turkey’, Mr. Tan said. To remind, the other day leader of
the Christian Democratic Union Angela Merkel submitted the above
mentioned draft resolution, which was included into the April agenda
of the Bundestag.
