The Bundestag adopted draft resolution "Day of Commemoration on
occasion of mass slaughters of Armenians in 1915. Germany should
contribute to reconciliation of Armenians and Turks" submitted by
the Christian Democratic Union.
The document avoids the term "genocide" however it contains
paragraph, which states that many independent experts, parliaments
and international organizations define the mass killing of Armenians
as Genocide.
The resolution says that the Bundestag regrets over the tragedy
of the Armenian people, bows to the Genocide victims and asks the
Armenian people for their forgiveness, as partly through approval
and through failure to take effective preventive measures there was
a German co-responsibility for this genocide.
