    ARMENIA WELCOMES GERMAN PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    Armenia has welcomed the statement of German President Joachim Gauck
    on the occasion of the 100tha anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

    "With this step Germany pays tribute to the memory of the innocent
    victims of the Armenians killed in the Ottoman Empire under the cover
    of the World War First," Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
    said in a statement.

    "President Gauck's statement is important not only from the point
    of view of recognition and commemoration of the Armenian Genocide,
    but is also a contribution to the joint efforts of the international
    community to prevent crimes against humanity.

    In his speech at the Berlin Cathedral, Gauck said "Germany condemns
    the massacre a century ago of 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman
    forces as a genocide," adding that Germany bore partial blame for
    the bloodletting."
