YEREVAN, JUNE 6, ARMENPRESS. President of the Armenian Union of Romania Varuzhan Voskanyan issued a statement on June 3 after the adoption of the resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide by the Bundestag. According to the statement, it was a historical vote especially considering the fact that Germany accepted its part of responsibility for the extermination of Armenians.

“This exceptional position of Germany is an overt call addressed to Turkey to step back from its denialist policy and accept the fact of extermination of the Armenian population and other minorities by the coordinated actions of the Ottoman Empire”, reads the statement.

The Armenian Union of Romania hopes that this vote will encourage discussions in the Romanian parliament as well, which will lead to a similar resolution.

The Armenians of Romania express gratitude to Germany for its resolute position.
