German MP Hakan Tas: Turkey Must Recognize The Armenian Genocide – 

German Parliament member of Turkish descent Hakan Tas made a statement on the Armenian Genocide. “Turkey must recognize the Armenian Genocide. Deportation of hundreds of thousands of people is already a crime against humanity, and the one carried out in 1915 meant sending them to death,” the politician said.

 He mentioned that documents clearly demonstrate that not only Eastern Anatolian Armenians, but also those from other Ottoman cities were forcibly deported. “This is the proof of a systematic movement against Armenians,” he stated.

Speaking about Turkey’s constant evasion from responsibility, Tas said: “Today’s government is not an accomplice in this crime, but it does bear historical responsibility. History books always misrepresent the Ottoman Empire, emphasizing only the advantages.” In conclusion, Tac said that recognizing the Armenian genocide on the threshold of its centennial will pave the way for more friendly relations between the two nations.
