Turkish media outlets (Milliyet, CnnTurk, Internethaber) are alarmed
as Germany may be following France to take an initiative panelizing
the denial of Armenian Genocide.

Erica Shteynbuk, spokeswoman of German Chancellor Angela Merkel rules
coalition government human rights parliamentary faction, has said
such an initiative may be taken, although the German opposition may
boycott it.

“Coalition members think even if Turkey denies facts, obviously
Genocide did happen. Armenian Genocide issue must always be kept in
our agenda. Turkey should be responsible. Turkey’s ruling authorities
haven’t done it, hence they can accept it,” German MP said.

“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
