    ANGELA MERKEL: ONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW HIS HISTORY, CAN'T BUILD HIS FUTURE

    Genocide

    Yesterday, during the session of the Council of Europe Parliamentary
    Assembly, Councilor of Germany Angela Merkel answered the questions
    of the delegates present to the session. Member of the Armenian
    delegation Raffi Hovanissian asked the German Councilor about the
    attitude of Germany to the issue of recognition of the Armenian
    Genocide, taking into account that Germany was the first state to
    recognize the holocaust. Mr. Hovanissian also wandered how can Germany'
    s leadership in such an issue go together with its position on the
    Armenian Genocide.

    Ms. Merkel answered that Germany supports the discussion of the
    Armenian Genocide, especially in those countries, where similar
    tragedies have taken place. One who does not know his history,
    can't build his future, she said. Ms. Merkel added that it is not
    only freedom that unites Europe, but also tolerance, which is very
    important.
