'ARMENIAN GENOCIDE' DEMO TAKES PLACE IN BERLIN
Expatica, Netherlands
March 20 2006
BERLIN - More than 2,000 Turkish nationalists demonstrated in Berlin
on Saturday in support of denials that a genocide of Armenians took
place under the Ottoman Empire in 1915.
The protestors demanded among other things the repeal of a resolution
passed by a unanimous vote in the German parliament last year that
called on Turkey to hold an open dialogue on the Armenian massacre.
The resolution has contributed to a rift between Germany and Turkey.
According to independent estimates, more than a million Armenians
were killed in the massacre.
A Berlin court on Friday allowed the demonstration to take place
under strict conditions, included not characterizing the
Armenian massacre as a lie in either speech or on placards.
The march had originally been banned by the police.
