    The Bundestag adopted draft resolution "Day of Commemoration on
    occasion of mass slaughters of Armenians in 1915. Germany should
    contribute to reconciliation of Armenians and Turks" submitted by
    the Christian Democratic Union.

    The document avoids the term "genocide" however it contains
    paragraph, which states that many independent experts, parliaments
    and international organizations define the mass killing of Armenians
    as Genocide.

    The resolution says that the Bundestag regrets over the tragedy
    of the Armenian people, bows to the Genocide victims and asks the
    Armenian people for their forgiveness, as partly through approval
    and through failure to take effective preventive measures there was
    a German co-responsibility for this genocide.
