VICE SPEAKER OF GERMANY'S PARLIAMENT HAS VISITED THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE MEMORIAL
The genocide of Armenians in Turkey in 1915 was the first crime against the mankind in XX century. This was stated by vice speaker of Germany's parliament Ante Folmer that visited the genocide memorial today. Ante Folmer did not give direct answer to the journalists' question: what was the reason of the delay of the question of passing the resolution on the recognition of the genocide of Armenians by Germany's parliament. According to her, Turkey's recognition of the genocide of Armenians is more important. As «Arminfo» agency informs, in the book of memories of the museum-institute of the genocide Ante Folmer wrote, «sympathizing and condoling with Armenian people for millions of victims, I hope that Armenia, experienced this tragedy in XX century, will have prosperity and peace. The world community will not allow commitment of such crimes in future».
