Yerevan/Mediamax/. Former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer believes that Bundestag will adopt a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide .

“Relations between Europe and Turkey have long been characterized by a deep contradiction. History, too, has divided the two sides, as the dispute over recognition of the Armenian genocide during World War I attests”, says Fisher, in his article “Realism for Europe and Turkey”, written for Project Syndicate.

 

“Relations could deteriorate further this spring, when Germany’s Bundestag votes on a resolution calling for the mass murder of Armenians in 1915 to be categorized as genocide. The motion will most likely be adopted by a large cross-party majority, aggravating tensions with Erdoğan’s government”, noted the German politician.
