Genocide Vote: Turkey threatens Germany 0
Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says Turkey cannot remain silent toward the German parliament’s recognition of the Armenian killing as genocide. Speaking in an interview with state-run TRT Haber news television network on Tuesday, Cavusoglu said Turkey will take measures against the German resolution, without specifying those steps. “The German government has to say its official stance does not overlap with the German parliament resolution,” he said.
The Bundestag voted last week to recognize the 1915-1916 killings by the Ottoman Empire of the Armenians as “genocide.” Armenians claim that up to 1.5 million Armenian Christians were systematically slaughtered in eastern Turkey during World War I and the breakup of the Ottoman Empire. Ankara rejects the term “genocide” and says 300,000 to 500,000 Armenians, and at least as many Turks perished between 1915 and 1917.
