Germany’s Merkel: Atrocities against Armenians must not be forgotten

Share:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday addressed the massacre of as many as 1.5 million Armenians in 1915 after meeting with the country’s prime minister, saying the atrocities committed against Armenians should not and would not be forgotten.

Merkel avoided using the term “genocide” in her remarks, sidestepping a possible repeat of tensions that flared with Turkish President Tayyap Erdogan after the German parliament in 2016 branded the massacre a genocide.

Merkel called the 2016 remembrance ceremony by the Bundestag an “important step in the culture of remembrance” but stressed that the language used was a political – not legal – classification. “We understand what atrocities were committed against countless Armenians. This suffering should not and will not be forgotten,” she said.

    While RT is pointing out the Swedish neo-Nazi (NRM) rally and a Die Grünen party Abgeordnete Tweet https://twitter.com/KonstantinNotz/status/1034341972801187840 (Everything in #Chemnitz reminds me of the mood before and during the pogroms and the racially motivated killings 25 years ago in Germany. #Hoyerswerda # Mölln #Solingen u.a. The Federal Interior Minister for days to exclude is simply scandalous.), and Merkel is wondering if there is a new dimension of xenophobia and right-wing violence in Germany -? And how could there ever be another riotous night in Chemnitz?

    Unlike Sweden, Finland has forbidden the Nazi organization NRM.

    Are the Arab gangs the reason for the far-right protest in Chemnitz?

    The police have also been criticized for leaking a confiscated arrest warrant about the knife act that triggered the riots.
