The Turkish Youth Union (TYU), which functions in Germany, began a
signature campaign to declare null and void the bill on the Armenian
Genocide’s recognition, which the German Bundestag (Parliament)
had adopted in 2005.

TYU President Beyhan Yildirim stated they are appealing to everyone in
Germany and elsewhere to join their signature campaign. “Germany’s
Turks were saddened very much when Germany’s Federal Parliament
approved the bill on recognizing the Armenian Genocide. We are carrying
out a signature campaign to bring that bill into the agenda, once
again, and declare it null and void. Also, we will present to the
parliament two books about 1915,” Yildirim said, noting they plan on
collecting around 50 thousand signatures, Haberturk of Turkey reported.
