Edward Nalbandian: Germany can serve as an example to Turkey

PanARMENIAN.Net - Genocide is a crime against humanity. As such it concerns humanity as a whole, and not only the people that was its victim, Armenian Foreign Minister said.

“In the German Bundestag's resolution entitled ‘Commemorating the expulsion and massacre of the Armenians in 1915’ adopted exactly five years ago, we can read the following: Bundestag deplores the inglorious role played by the German Reich which, in spite of a wealth of information on the organized expulsion and annihilation of Armenians, has made no attempt to intervene and stop these atrocities,” Edward Nalbandian recollected in an interview with Profil Austrian newspaper.

“I believe that this wording speaks for itself. Every time the German leaders visiting Yad Vashem Memorial and paying tribute to victims of Holocoust are gaining the sympathy and veneration of the world community for that gesture. Germany has reconciled with its own past and we hope that Germany will serve as an example to Turkey to accomplish the same,” he said.
