German Chancellor Angela Merkel will arrive on an official visit to Armenia on August 24-25.

According to Turkish media reports, Turkey is concerned over the fact that the German Chancellor will visit the Armenian Genocide memorial complex for victims of the Armenian Genocide and will possible say the word “genocide.”

Angela Merkel will meet with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Yerevan on August 24 to discuss bilateral relations after political changes. Chancellor will lay a wreath at the Armenian Genocide memorial complex.

To note, on June 2, 2016, the German Bundestag (the Federal Assembly) adopted the Armenian Genocide resolution. However, after the Turkish allegations about possible escalation of relations with Turkey, the Merkel’s government announced that it had to respect the Bundestag’s decision, underlining that the German government would not make any statement on that resolution.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
