Ankara and Baku keep insisting that the fact of Armenian Genocide should be studied by historians and politicians

The resolution passed by the German Bundestag is an ignorant and unsuccessful decision that is in contrast with law, because the European Court of Human Rights has a decision in this regard, Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Ismail Alper Coskun told APA on Friday.

APA quotes him as saying: "According to that decision, the claims about the events of 1915 are open for discussion. He stressed that if Germany had truly wanted to do a favor for Turkey-Armenia rapprochement for the sake of global peace, they should not have accepted Armenia's dogmatic claims. Instead of taking a biased approach to Turkey and the Turkish history, Germany should've said, 'O Armenia, O Turkey, come and sit together, let the historians talk so you can discuss these realities and find the right way.' But the approval of this anti-Turkey decision is indeed an unsuccessful step from Germany and the Bundestag."  "What's more, over three million Turks who are Germany citizens and some other people living there are also insulted. None of these is a coincidence. Germany does know what I say and they do so deliberately in order to form a negative opinion against people of Turkic origin living in Germany. It's obvious that this decision has been taken without taking into consideration Turkey, Turkish character, and our adherence to our history. This will produce a totally opposite outcome. Our people will no way feel disappointed at this lame decision. On the contrary, cry out the realities in a stronger way," he added.  

"The approval of this resolution shows that there are manipulations. However, this is a reality that Germany has been preparing for this for years. Germany is trying to share the genocide responsibility with others, particularly with Turkey," the diplomat concluded. 

For his part, Novruz Mammadov, deputy head of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration and chief of the Administration's foreign relations department, said to reporters: "When commenting on the German parliament's decision on the 'Armenian genocide', we need to think about why it happened, what its essence is, and whether the steps taken around the world as to these events are just or not." 

According to Mammadov, scientists and historians should conduct a detailed study about the events that happened 100 years ago. "With regard to this issue, Turkey has put forward a remarkable proposal. The decision should be made after a detailed scientific investigation. Politicizing all the processes in the current situation is not the right option. Turkey will not agree to this, either," APA quotes Mammadov as saying.
