    CDU/CSU ADVOCATE STUDY OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AT GERMAN SCHOOLS


    02.07.2005 05:02

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union
    (CDU/CSU) of Germany have sent a letter to the Ministry of Education and
    Religion of the German federal lands proposing to include the history of the
    Armenian Genocide in the school curriculum, reported Tagesspiegel. `The
    Armenian Genocide during World War I directly related to the following
    banishment and tragedies in Europe and of course the Holocaust.' According
    to the message, schools not always properly respond to Turkey erroneously
    teaching history to children. Two weeks ago the Bundestag adopted a
    resolution on the Armenian Genocide. The resolution does not specify the
    events of 1915-1917 as `genocide', however the concept is underlies the very
    grounding of the resolution. Meanwhile, Armenia and most of the
    international community qualify the events of 1915-1917 as a genocide. From
    the point of view of Turkey the matter merely concerns the tragic
    consequences of the forced deportation imposed by the war. Meanwhile, the
    first federal Land of Brandenburg has included the Armenian Genocide in the
    curriculum.
