14:23, 09.03.2015
Cornelius Janzen, who hosts the "Culture Hour" program on the
German-language 3Sat satellite TV, presented a video recently, and
entitled "Germans and the Armenian Genocide."
The maker of this video states that the political archives of the
German MFA contains hundreds of documents that attest to the systematic
slaughter of Armenians and the German Empire's role in this tragedy.
Dr. Rolf Hosfeld, the scientific managing director of the House of
Lepsius Organization (Lepsiushaus), and Jurgen Gottschlich, a foreign
correspondent for German daily Die Tageszeitung in Turkey, also were
guests of this program.
Gottschlich expressed a conviction that the German Empire's role in
the Armenian Genocide was more than a mere observer. He has studied
the Turkish and the German archives, and come to the conclusion that
Germany had provided an active political support in the carrying out
of this genocide, and so as to fulfill its own military objectives.
And as per Hosfeld, the aforementioned events had unrolled in the
context of military thinking, and with the desire to win the First
World War at any cost. He believes that Germany has tolerated the
Armenian Genocide. Hosfeld also criticizes Germany's current position
on this matter, and accuses it of "amnesia."
