TURKEY CRITICIZED GERMAN OPPOSITION PARTIES FOR DEFENDING ARMENIANS’ INTERESTS IN PARLIAMENT

Turkey has subjected the opposition parties of Germany to sharp criticism for submitting the draft resolution on the Armenian Genocide to the consideration of the Bundestag. Official Ankara stated the demand of the parties to discuss the Armenian Genocide recognition in the Bundestag as an inadmissible step taken to impede Turkey’s EU membership. To remind, the Christian Democratic and Christian Socialist Unions of Germany called the parliament to urge Turkey to take over the responsibility for the killings of hundreds of thousands of Armenians in 1915.
