Germany won’t recognize Genocide until 2015 – expert

Germany won’t recognize the Armenian Genocide before 2015, Armenian Studies Professor at Freie Universität Berlin, Doctor Jirair Kocharian said.

“It’s a known fact Turkey was Germany’s ally in WWI years, with the latter turning a blind eye to Turkey’s crimes. At present, Ankara enjoys significant authority in Germany, actively participating in the country’s internal policy in attempt to hamper Genocide recognition campaign.

“The committee for Genocide recognition campaign in Germany will again address Bundestag, calling attention to continuing extermination of Armenian historic monuments, and pressure on Turkey-based Armenians,” the expert noted.

“Turkey is doubling its crime in its refusal to recognize the Genocide,” the expert concluded.
