YEREVAN, MAY 12, ARMENPRESS: To settle some issues Turkey must face
its own history, according to Ambassador Patricia Flor, German Federal
Foreign Ministry's special envoy for Eastern Europe, Caucasus and
Central Asia.
She said today in an interview with Armenpress that facing the own
history requires long and painful discussions and great courage.
"Germany has passed this route in the 1960-1970s, when Chancellor Willy
Brandt took the first painful step, apologizing from the Poles and
Jews, however he has some critics inside Germany," Patricia Flor said.
According to the ambassador, Germany is implementing various programs
in the region by uniting Armenian and Turkish young people, who
discuss the events during 1915 and the World War I.
"The essential point here is that Germany has recognized its own
guilt and responsibility," Patricia Flor said.
