RESOLUTION ON GERMAN BUNDESTAG'S RECOGNIZING ARMENIAN
GENOCIDE INFURIATED POLITICAL FIGURES OF TURKEY
BODY:
YEREVAN, JUNE 18. ARMINFO. German parliament's Armenian bill draws
Turkish ire. The CHP said that the bill was a fiasco on the behalf of
the government's foreign relations policy.
As the Turkish NTV reports, the German parliament's passing of a
motion recognizing claims that the Ottoman Empire had massacred many
of its Armenian community some 90 years ago will cast a shadow over
Turkish-German relations, the speaker of the Turkish parliament said
Friday. Parliamentary speaker Bulent Arinc has sent a letter to his
German counterpart saying that the bill, which also calls on Turkey
to acknowledge the allegations that Armenians were massacred in 1915,
was neither based on common sense or on facts. Also on Friday, Kemal
Anadol, the leader of the parliamentary group of the main opposition
Republican People's Party (CHP), said that history and politics were
two terms that should not come together and slammed various
parliaments for passing resolutions without knowledge or
understanding of the facts. The leader of opposition True Path Party
(DYP), Mehmet Agir, was another to react to the bill, saying that by
this decision Germany had covered the head of history with a sack.
