The National Thinking Platform, comprised of 11 non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), left on Tuesday [21 June] a black wreath in
front of the German embassy in Turkish capital of Ankara.
The NGOs are protesting the resolution adopted by the German Federal
Parliament regarding the so-called Armenian genocide.
Speaking on behalf of the platform, Fethi Bolayir, chairman of the
Social Thinking Association, said that the adoption of this resolution
overshadowed Turkish-German relations.
Bolayir added that Turkish people had never carried out a genocide.
