/PanARMENIAN.Net/ We have always used our good relations with both countries
to encourage them to enter into a direct dialogue, German Ambassador to
Armenia Dr. Heike Renate Peitsch stated in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net
when commenting on the possible tension in the German-Turkish relations in
case the Bundestag recognizes the Armenian Genocide. In her words, Federal
Foreign Minister Fischer underlined this policy during his visit to Yerevan
in April 2004. When responding to the question whether it is possible that
under Turkey’s pressure the discussions on the draft resolution will be
suspended or cancelled the Ambassador said, `How to deal with the draft
resolution remains the responsibility of the German Bundestag.’
