LAW ON GUILT OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE DENIAL ADOPTED IN BERLIN-BRANDENBURG

In Germany, Berlin-Brandenburg Bundesland adopted a law on guilt of
the Armenian Genocide denial (paragraph 189).

>From now on it is prohibited to call `a lie’ the Armenian Genocide in
the Ottoman Empire in the territory, Regnum reports.

It is noteworthy that on the very day Turks were going to hold a
demonstration in Berlin to commemorate Talaat Pasha, however, because
of the resolution adopted, police thoroughly checked all the posters
and transparencies in order to register facts of the Genocide denial.

Berlin-Brandenburg is the first in Germany and the second in Europe
region in the number of Turks (the first is in Istanbul). Over 1
million Turks live only in Berlin. So, as the Armenian Turkologists
note, Germany, the main Turkey’s ally in the EU, has confirmed its
position on the resolution adopted by the Bundestag, which can bring
about a chain reaction everywhere in the EU.
