German parliament passes Armenian resolution
Berlin, June 16, IRNA
The German parliament here Thursday approved a resolution aimed at
commemorating the expulsion and massacres of Armenians in the Ottoman
empire some 90 years ago.
Petitioned by all German political parties, the three-page resolution
urges Turkey to “take historic responsibility” for the massacres and
expulsions of Armenians by the Ottoman government.
The resolution points also to a limited German role in the massacres
of Armenians since Germany was a close ally of the Ottomans.
Turkey has harshly criticized the German resolution, calling it
“irresponsible”.
