/PanARMENIAN.Net/ German Ambassador to Armenia Dr. Heike Renate
Peitsch did not comment on issues, referring to the impact of the
German-Turkish relations on promotion of Germany’s relations with
Armenia, Regnum news agency reported. She also refrained from
comments on Germany’s position over lifting the blockade of the
Armenian-Turkish border and recognition of the Armenian Genocide in
Ottoman Turkey within the context of prospects of Turkey’s accession
to the EU, as well as prospects of Bundestag passing a respective
resolution taking into account the position of the Democratic and
Christian-Socialist Unions of Germany (CDU/CSU). It should be
reminded that these `aiming at contributing to rapprochement between
Turkey and Armenia, as well as clearing out the share of the German
Reich participation in those tragic events’ made a proposal in
Bundestag `to commemorate the Armenian Genocide victims.’
