/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan has made
a negative statement over the adoption of the Armenian Genocide
Resolution by the German Bundestag, reported France Presse Agency. «I
suppose it is incorrect from the political point of view. Moreover it
is mean that the German Parliament sacrificed the question in favor
of the Armenian lobby without discussion,» Erdogan said. He blamed
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder for not preventing adoption of the
resolution. In its turn the Federal Government criticized Erdogan’s
statement. As remarked by assistant of German Government’s official
representative Thomas Steg, «it is a balanced resolution.» Steg also
rebuked Erdogan’s statement over the attitude to Federal Chancellor
Gerhard Schroeder. «Germans are exactly those, who know that not
carrying out the historical duty and readiness to reconciliation and
forgiveness are indispensable for forming good and peaceful future
of peoples,» he said.
