More than 2,000 Turkish nationalists demonstrated in Berlin on Saturday
in support of denials that a genocide of Armenians took place under
the Ottoman Empire in 1915.
The protestors demanded among other things the repeal of a resolution
passed by a unanimous vote in the German parliament last year that
called on Turkey to hold an open dialogue on the Armenian massacre.
The resolution has contributed to a rift between Germany and Turkey.
According to independent estimates, more than a million Armenians
were killed in the massacre.
A Berlin court on Friday allowed the demonstration to take place under
strict conditions, included not characterizing the Armenian massacre
as a lie in either speech or on placards.
The march had originally been banned by the police. dpa fse bk mga cb
