Bundestag to hold another discussion on Genocide recognition in June

The resolution “Recognizing the events of 1915 as Genocide” is set to once again be discussed in the German Bundestag, most probably in June, Aravot reports citing Haberler.

The resolution was introduced to the parliament by co-chairman of the German political party Alliance '90/The Greens Cem Ozdemir, who recently commented on the bill.

“Reaching a common stance by all the parties is far more important than the dates,” Ozdemir said.

“The Bundestag will finally employ simple and precise formulations. The crime perpetrated against the Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire can only be characterized as genocide. Moreover, Germans too have their share of responsibility.”
