Recognition of Armenian Genocide must have taken place regardless of Turkey’s stance

Recognition of Armenian Genocide must have taken place regardless of Turkey’s stance

YEREVAN, MAY 22, ARMENPRESS. The German delegation led by Minister of Science, Research and Culture of the federal state of Brandenburg, Dr. Martina Münch visited the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial in Yerevan and laid flowers at the Eternal Flame by paying a tribute to the memory of the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide, reports Armenpress.

This was the delegation’s first visit to Armenia which they decided to start with a visit to Tsitsernakaberd.

The delegation members were accompanied by German Ambassador to Armenia Matthias Kiesler.

The guests toured the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute during which they got acquainted with the exhibits about the greatest crime of the 20th century.

The German Minister said she is happy that the Bundestag clearly expressed its stance on the Armenian Genocide and mentioned the word ‘genocide’ in a resolution adopted by it. Martina Münch stated that this must have taken place regardless of Turkey’s stance on this issue.

“We are deeply impressed with this visit, and it is very important for us, the representatives of Brandenburg state, that today we are here. The Brandenburg was the first among the German federal states where the topic of Armenian Genocide started to be taught, and it was already introduced during my predecessors. It is already being taught in schools for at least 10 years”, she said.

On June 2, 2016 the German Bundestag adopted the Armenian Genocide recognition resolution.
