The resolution in favor of the recognition of the Armenian Genocide proposed by the German Greens, which had the support of other forces of the ruling coalition could not be presented to the Bundestag votes. The leader of the Green Party, Cem Özdemir denounced the attitude of the leadership of the ruling parties that to please Turkey, on the grounds of the refugee crisis, refused to take the port of this proposal to be shared .
The Greens had negotiated with other parties technical writing of this resolution. But the defection of the leadership of the ruling parties steals for now any chance of getting a majority. “Making recognition of the Armenian genocide hostage to the issue of refugees is a wrong policy,” said Özdemir. With the vote on this resolution, members of the coalition had the opportunity to say clearly what he thinks of what happened. “We know there are many coalition members who do not share the attitude of their group leader,” said Özdemir.
