Thousands of Turks marched in Berlin to protest the Armenian draft
approved by the German Federal assembly in Bundestag last week.
About 10,000 people participated in the march organized by the
Turkish Foundations Initiative despite the hot weather. Literature
was distributed and the marchers carried banners written in German
that read, “Turkey is not the scapegoat of German policies” and
“German policy distorts history”. An announcement released indicated:
“We demand the deputies elected by the Turkish participants to
consider the sensitivities and interests of the 2.8 million Turkish
people. We want the deputies to fulfill their duty to prevent
provocation in order to live together in peace. ”
