BUNDESTAG’S RESOLUTION ARMENIAN GENOCIDE “IRRESPONSIBLE AND INSULTING”: TURKISH FM
YEREVAN, JUNE 16. ARMINFO. Turkish FM Abdullah Gul has called
“irresponsible, alarming and insulting” the German CDU/CSU resolution
“Commemoration of Armenians on the 90th Anniversary of Their Relocation
and Massacre on Apr 24 1915 – Germany Should Contribute to Provide
Peace Between Turks and Armenians.”
There might as well be no such resolution, Gul says in an interview to
Hannoverschen Allgemeinen Zeitung. He says that Turkey’s priority at
the moment is to quickly integrate Turks in Germany but the controversy
that can be caused in German society by the above resolution can
hinder the integration. “This in its turn may lead to thoughtless
insults because there was no Armenian genocide,” says Gul.
To remind, Bundestag is to vote on the resolution today with no
preliminary discussion.
