Germany says Armenian Genocide Resolution ‘Non-Binding’
BERLIN, Germany (RT)—Germany’s Foreign Minister has said the Bundestag resolution recognizing the 1915 massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire as genocide is “non-binding,” following media reports the German cabinet would disavow the resolution so as to continue using Turkey’s Incirlik airbase.

Hopefully, someone can finally hold the Turks and Kurds responsible for the Armenian/Assyrian Christian genocide. I’ll give the Kurds some credit, at least they’ve admitted what they did and have formally apologized.
This is very sad indeed. The bully Turkish government continues its denial and the world continuously buckles to them.
Our grandmothers and grandfathers knew what happened to them. We, as descendants, know the truth. I do not await an admittance of guilt by Erdogan or his government; but it most certainly has no effect or bearing on the reality of barbarism and genocide experienced by our people.
Shame on these German political hacks. The concept of moral integrity to acknowledge historical fact is losing out to political convenience.
Meanwhile the Turkish government plays both sides in laundering ISIL oil while still getting money from the United States under the pretext of fighting these terrorists.
“Bad idea adopting Armenian Genocide” by German parliament could by
avoided 2016 if German High Command would and could prevent Genocide
1915 became passive accessories of Ottomans Genocide crimes 2016
resolution is highly courageous act accepting accessory fact as allies
The Armenians have waited a longtime for this resolution. his Erdogan is a snake in the grass and not to be trusted. Loo now what he is doing to the Kurds. Massacres are still going on and who knows if he is still supplying ISIS. His whole intention is to create a Caliphate and take over Syria Iag and Lebanon. He has great visions of himself being a great conqueror and another HItler in the making.Ruthless and cunning and never t be trusted.
Are they telling us ARMENIANS that the THEN german empire and turkish ottoman empire : are still current in 2016 as WE knew it for many many years and still active .
Do not Be AFRAID TO TELL THE TRUTH
GOD BLESS THE MEORY OF ALL OUR ARMENIAN SAINTS
The German Parliament,following the example of the European Parliament had the courage to recognise an historical reality. Shame on those who give in to political pressure in denying the Armenian Genocide. Shame on those who deny the truth or try to dress it up in some other form.
This is truly outrageous. The AG is an irrefutable fact. The Germans were fully aware of the AG while it was happening and did nothing to help our hairenagitsner (fellow-Armenians/հայրենակիցներ) by using their influence with their allies, the Ottoman Turks. Anyone who doubts this needs only to read “Ambassador Morgenthau’s Story” (Gomidas Institute Books, 2000). Morgenthau was the U.S. ambassador to Constantinople from 1913 and 1916 and was an eyewitness to the AG. He pleaded time and time again face to face with the leaders of the Ottoman Turks (especially Enver and Talaat) and with German officials for mercy to the Armenians, but he could not sway the murderers from their monstrous crimes. I urge all Armenians and non-Armenians to read this book if they haven’t. It would appear that the thug Erdogan can continue to bully his way around the world, while Western leaders continue to buckle under his threats for the purposes of “Realpolitik”. For 101 years now the cowardly Western leaders are obviously not interested in justice for Armenians who have been among the most persecuted peoples in world history. If Armenians had not been so strong and resourceful, they would long since have disappeared from the world.
