GENOCIDE RECOGNITION BY GERMANY MORE VALUABLE THAN BY OTHER COUNTRIES

PanARMENIAN.Net - The adoption of the Armenian genocide resolution by the Bundestag has significant political value, Kiro Manoyan, Director of Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office stated during online interview initiated by OpenArmenia.com and PanARMENIAN.Net When responding to the question whether the fact that the resolution fails to use term "genocide" can cause partial recognition of the Genocide by other parliaments Kiro Manoyan noted he would not define it as partial recognition, as the term "genocide" is mentioned in the foreword of the resolution. "The resolution records of "planned extermination" what can be defined as "genocide". With this Germans tried to be more gentle towards Turkey", he said. "The recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Germany, ally to the Ottoman Empire in the World War I, is the evidence of an indisputable fact. It would be good if other states followed Germany's example and called upon Turkey to acknowledge its history, Kiro Manoyan stressed.
