Baku, Azerbaijan, Apr.21
By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:
Turks residing in Germany will hold protest actions against inclusion of the term "genocide" in the text of the resolution, which is prepared on the occasion of the centenary of the 1915 events, Anadolu agency reported April 21.
It is planned to hold the protest actions on April 25.
The leaders of Germany's ruling coalition have agreed to include the term of "genocide" in the text of the mentioned resolution.
Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor, the Ottoman Empire allegedly carried out "genocide" against the Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. Turkey in turn has always denied "the genocide" took place. While strengthening the efforts to promote the "genocide" in the world, Armenians have achieved its recognition by the parliaments of some countries.
Turkey has repeatedly expressed readiness to open the archives to reveal the truth about the 1915 events and urged Armenia to create a joint commission on this issue. However, Armenia ignores this proposal.
