German Chancellor Angela Merkel may address the issue of the genocide
of Armenians and Assyrians. Merkel intends to learn about the urgent
issues concerning citizens through the proposals to be presented in
her official website within the frames of the initiative exceptional
for Germany "Dialogue of Future".
In the part "How we want to live jointly?" among about 6 000 proposals,
the proposal developed by the author and music methodology associate
professor Norbert Fol is in the first place according to the present
results. The proposal is titled "A law against denying the genocide
of Armenians and Assyrians". There proposal has been voted for by
about 140 000 people.
Norbert Fol has said in his talk with our colleague Alla Serobyan:
"I am a descendent of a deportee family and I know what slaughter
and deportation mean. The denial of the genocide is perceived by
its victims as a continuation of that genocide. Frankly, I didn't
expect the proposal would be supported by so many. If I succeed to
continue clarifying the matter, then the people who take the memory
of the Holocaust seriously in our country will take our side. As to
Mrs Merkel's response, she usually doesn't address complex topics
and waits. Of course, I want her to accept the proposal: it will
be democracy".
Presenting the proposals and voting will last till April 15 after which
the authors of the 10 proposals which received the most votes, as well
as the 10 succeeded proposals chosen by corresponding independent
experts will be invited to the chancellor's office to discuss their
ideas with Merkel.
