VARDAN OSKANIAN: ARMENIA POSITIVELY ASSESSES BUNDESTAG’S
RESOLUTION ON RECOGNITION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
YEREVAN, JUNE 20. ARMINFO. Armenia positively assesses adoption of
the resolution by the German Bundestag on June 16 “Commemoration day
of Armenian on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the slaughter
on April 24, 1915 – Germany must promote reconciliation of Turks and
Armenians”. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Vardan Oskanian
informed during the news conference, Monday.
According to him, the resolution of the Bundestag is an important
step towards the international recognition of Armenian Genocide of
1915. The decision is especially important for that Germany admits
its guilt in the tragic events of 1915 and calls on Turkey to
reconcile itself to its past. This decision is one more significant
step to include Armenian clauses in the agenda of the forthcoming
negotiations this autumn for Turkey’s accession to the European
Union, the Armenian foreign minister said.
