BERLIN, APRIL 23, ARMENPRESS. Germany’s President Joachim Gauck has called the Armenian massacres of 1915 a genocide. “The fate of the Armenians is an example of the history of mass destruction, ethnic cleansing, the deportation, the genocide of the 20th century is marked in such a horrible way,” Gauck said aloud in advance to published text of his speech at an ecumenical memorial service in Berlin Cathedral.

As reports “Armenpress” citing the German DPA News Agency, Gauck  highlighted that the Germans would have to “make work-up, namely when it comes to a co-responsibility, perhaps even complicity in the genocide of the Armenians”.
