Adoption of Armenian Genocide resolution by Germany is advance
The adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution by Germany in 2005 is a great advance, RA Ambassador to Germany Karine Ghazinyan told a news conference in Yerevan. According to her, it's extremely hard to pass such a resolution in state where the Turkish Diaspora is the most numerous and the Armenian community is not influential.
Ghazinyan remarked that importance of the resolution is not diminished by the absence of term "genocide". "The document maintains the word "extermination" what is semantically identical with genocide," she said.
July 16, 2005 the German Bundestag unanimously passed a resolution titled "The Day of Commemoration of Armenians on the Occasion of the 90th Anniversary of 1915, April 24 Massacre: Germany Should Contribute to Reconciliation between Armenians and Turks."
