Baku, Azerbaijan, June 3
Trend:
Turkey hopes that Germany will correct its historical mistake, said Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim while making a press statement jointly with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku June 3.
Yildirim said the members of the German Bundestag (parliament) openly admitted a historical lie, which has not been confirmed to be true.
"Germany's anti-Turkey resolution had a very negative impact on the Germany-Turkey relations," he said.
Yildirim added that the Bundestag's resolution has no significance for Turkey.
Germany's Bundestag (parliament) adopted a resolution on recognizing the so-called Armenian genocide June 2.
Earlier, Turkey's Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that Berlin-Ankara relations can worsen, if Germany's Bundestag adopts a resolution recognizing the 1915 events as "Armenian genocide".
"Turkey hopes that Germany will show common sense with regard to the events of 1915," Yildirim said.
The prime minister added that there has never been genocide in the history of Turkey.
