/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Christian Democratic and Christian Socialist
parties of Germany protesting against Turkey's EU membership have
launched a campaign to prevent this process, IA Regnum reports. The
parties have adopted a resolution on the occasion of the 90-th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, which is to be submitted to the
parliament. The resolution notes that Germany being an ally to the
Ottoman Empire during the First World War was aware of the outraging
plans for elimination and exiles of Armenians. The document stresses
that `Turkey as the successor of the Ottoman Empire keep on denying
the reality. Such position conflicts with the EU principles on
reconciliation and forgiveness.' `Germany should press Turkey to
acknowledge the past and establish normal relations with Armenia',
the resolution runs.
