    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Like other countries aspiring for accession to
    the EU, Turkey should have all preconditions for that, noted Federal
    Government Commissioner for Human Rights and Humanitarian Assistance
    in the FRG Foreign Ministry, Co-Chair of Union/90 Green faction of
    the German Bundestag Claudia Roth. In her words, the Armenian issue
    is a rather important one and the investigation of one's own history
    should issue from the interests of Turkey itself. «The events of 1915
    are undoubted a crime against humanity,» Claudia Roth noted. «We
    Germans have a historical responsibility for the Holocaust and we know
    how important it is to remember about it,» she noted. She hoped for
    Turkey nevertheless to be «able to cancel the taboo and deal with
    the problem of relations with Armenia.» She also reminded Germans
    are concerned with the events of 1915. The military and political
    leaders of the German Empire were informed of the occurrences in
    Anatolia, however it did not intervene. She also said she was sure a
    joint Armenian-Turkish Commission to investigate facts of the Armenian
    Genocide should be formed, however in her words the Commission should
    be indeed independent. «Germany's role in the question comes to
    promoting reconciliation between Turkey and Armenia,» Roth stated.
