Baku, Azerbaijan, June 2
By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:
The Ankara-Berlin relations will greatly deteriorate following German Bundestag's adoption of the resolution on recognizing the 1915 events as the "Armenian genocide", Yasin Aktay, spokesman for the Turkish ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), told Trend by phone June 2.
Aktay said that the Bundestag's decision will also negatively impact on the internal situation in Germany.
"The fact that the Bundestag has adopted an anti-Turkish resolution testifies that Germany has ignored Turkey's interests," Aktay added.
Germany's Bundestag (parliament) adopted a resolution on recognizing the so-called Armenian genocide June 2.
Previously, Turkey's Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that there has never been genocide in Turkey's history.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan also previously said that the events of 1915 were a difficult time not only for Armenians, but also for Arabs, Kurds and representatives of other nations living in the country.
Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor, the Ottoman Empire, committed the so-called genocide against Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. While strengthening the propaganda of "genocide" in the world, Armenians achieved its recognition by parliaments of some countries.
