ARMENIAN GENOCIDE COMPULSORY SUBJECT IN GERMAN SCHOOLS
We demand all the Federative Lands to include the Armenian Genocide, perpetrated by Ottoman Turkey during the First World War, as a compulsory subject in the school education programs, says the April 24 address of Markus Merkel, vice-spokesman for foreign policy of the German Social Democratic Party's parliamentary faction.
"Idea" news agency reports that an evangelist priest, former Foreign Minister of the German Democratic Republic (DDR) Markus Merkel reminds in his address that the Detutsch Reich was the ally of the Ottoman Empire through the World War I, and therefore Germany's recognition of the Genocide very important. It will considerably contribute the process of recognition of the Armenian Genocide worldwide. The German Parliament, the Bundestag, condemned the Armenian Genocide already in 2005, phrasing it as "deportation and massacres ("Massaker" in German) in 1915".
In his message Merkel also emphasizes the construction of J. Lepsius' house in Potsdam, "which is dedicated to refill the spaces of forgetfulness and improve the relations between the Armenian, German and Turkish peoples". He says he is very disappointed that some are advocating reconciliation between Armenia and Turkey, in the meanwhile falsifying the history and strengthening the positions of the policy of denial of the Genocide. Merkel adds that the scandalous murder of Hrant Dink revealed that certain powers in Turkey still impede the process of its integration with Europe and hamper establishment of democracy.
Inclusion of the topic of the Armenian Genocide in the education programs of German schools was also mentioned in Matthias Meisner's article, published in "Der Tagesspiegel" on April 25. The article says that the German-Armenian Company has submitted a correspondent petition to Chancellor Angela Merkel.
