/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution by
Germany in 2005 is a great advance, RA Ambassador to Germany Karine
Ghazinyan told a news conference in Yerevan. According to her,
it’s extremely hard to pass such a resolution in state where the
Turkish Diaspora is the most numerous and the Armenian community is
not influential.
Ghazinyan remarked that importance of the resolution is not diminished
by the absence of term "genocide".
"The document maintains the word "extermination" what is semantically
identical with genocide," she said.
July 16, 2005 the German Bundestag unanimously passed a resolution
titled "The Day of Commemoration of Armenians on the Occasion of the
90th Anniversary of 1915, April 24 Massacre: Germany Should Contribute
to Reconciliation between Armenians and Turks."
