The Armenian Diaspora of Germany commemorated the Armenian Genocide with a liturgy in Paulskirche church of Frankfurt am Main.

In a statement on the 96th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, Spokeswoman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group on human rights and humanitarian aid in the Bundestag Erika Steinbach noted that Turkey should find an approach to shady pages of its history. “In almost 100 years after the tragic events, it is time to eventually deal with resolution of problems related to the Armenian Genocide,” dpa quoted Steinbach as saying.
