Genocide has been commemorated organized by Armenian primacy in
Germany and other local Armenian organizations.
MFA press and information department said the events kicked off with
a rally held near Turkish Consulate in Frankfurt, continued with a
procession to Paulsplatz square where peaceful protest was held.

killings of 1,5 million Armenians carried out early in the 20th
century and took the criticism of the West painfully.
