GERMAN PARLIAMENTARIAN CALLS ON TURKEY TO SHOW COURAGE AND FACE BLACK PAGES IN ITS HISTORY
Thursday, April 23, 16:20
Genocide of Armenians will not be buried in oblivion, despite anything,
Albert Wailer, German MP, said at the Public and Political Global
Forum Against the Crime of Genocide in Yerevan on April 23.
Calling the massacre of the 1,5 million of Armenians as Genocide,
Wailer said the German government lacks enough courage to recognize
the Genocide of Armenians. He said that the world's scholars,
parliamentarians, politicians have repeatedly called on Turkey to
publicly recognize the facts of its history.
"We, Germans, committed a heavy sin in the 20th century. I am
speaking about the Holocaust. They forgave us as we condemned our
past. It was not easy, it took us great efforts, but we did it,"
the parliamentarian said.
To become a part of the European family, he said, it is necessary
to face one's past. He called on Turkey, mainly, the intellectuals,
to show courage and face the black pages if their past.
