States not recognizing Armenian Genocide are guided by political reasons

Volunteer from Germany Johan Lepkas and tourist Christine Indingi say they know that April 24 is a very important day for the Armenian people. Being in Yerevan, they visited the Memorial to commemorate the Armenian Genocide victims. “I decided to visit the Memorial to pay a tribute to the Armenian Genocide victims,” Lepkas told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

According to him, it will be an important decision for Turkey to recognize the Genocide.

“I know many Turks, who recognize the Genocide, but it is a political step that should be taken at the state level,” the volunteer said.

Indingi also attached importance to the Armenian Genocide recognition. As for its recognition by the world community, Indingi said “it is a complicate issue, while those countries that do not recognize the Armenian Genocide are guided by political reasons.”
