The German Foreign Ministry has issues a statement on the cancellation of Dresden Symphony Orchestra’s concert dedicated to the Armenian Genocide at the German Consulate General in Istanbul. “The premises of the Consulate in Istanbul will not be free on November 13”, “Armenpress” reports German MFA made such a strange argumentation.

Dresden Symphony Orchestra plans to perform the concert called “Aghet” (tragedy) in Belgrade and Yerevan in November.

Turkey has announced it was exiting the European Union’s Creative Europe Program. According to reports, the pullout was in response to the concert in commemoration of the Armenian genocide. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has even announced about his support for the project.

“This project offers the audience to abandon the world of hatred. I am convinced that only people who get qcquinted to the dreams and traumas of others can foster the establishment of a bright future”, Frank-Walter Steinmeier had told.
