The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Turkey issued a ridiculous statement following the German Bundestag’s passing of the resolution that recognizes Armenian Genocide.
“Turkey tries to honour the memory of the Ottoman Armenians, shares their sufferings, preserves Armenian cultural heritage and takes significant steps for paving the way for reconciliation between the two neighbouring nations. In this respect, there is nothing that Turkey will learn from the Parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany,” the Turkish MFA statement specifically reads.
It is unknown whom the Turkish MFA wants to deceive with such statement, since even those in Turkey do not believe in such words.
And after the Turkish PM’s remarks that something commonplace, which can happen in any country, occurred with the Armenians in 1915, the Turkish MFA should have remained silent.
The Bundestag, the lower house of the German parliament, on Thursday formally recognized the Armenian Genocide, with the aforesaid resolution and with only one vote against and one abstention. The resolution also notes that the Bundestag regrets that the German government at the time did nothing to stop this crime against humanity, and therefore the Bundestag also acknowledges the respective historical accountability of Germany.
