German human rights organization called on the authorities of Germany  to establish monuments throughout the country in memory of the victims  of the Armenian Genocide

ArmInfo. The German human rights organization "Society for the Protection of the Rights of Forced Peoples" appealed to the Association of German Cities  (Deutscher Stadtetag) with an appeal to establish monuments all over  the country in memory  of the victims of the Armenian Genocide and  other Christians killed in the Ottoman Empire during the First World  War.

Expert of the human rights organization for the Middle East Kemal  Sidou noted that the German Empire was informed of pogroms of  Armenians in the Ottoman Empire and mass deportations. "It is  extremely important to do everything so that this tragedy is not  forgotten and it is necessary to establish monuments so that  representatives of the affected peoples can honor the memory of the  innocent victims," said Sidou, Deutsche Welle reports.

Note that on June 2, 2016, the German Bundestag adopted a resolution  "Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide and Other Christian Minorities  in the Ottoman Empire 101 Years ago," in which the massacres of  Armenians in the Ottoman Empire are called genocide. The Bundestag  not only recognized the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire, but  also its share of responsibility for what had been accomplished.

Recall that more than two dozen countries recognized the Armenian  Genocide. The first to recognize the Armenian Genocide was Uruguay,  further Argentina, Russia, Belgium, the Vatican, Venezuela, Greece,  Italy, Canada, Cyprus, Lebanon, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland,  Slovakia, France, Chile, Switzerland, Sweden, Bolivia, Germany and  several other countries . It is noteworthy that Switzerland,  Slovakia, Greece and Cyprus also passed laws on the criminalization  of the denial of the Armenian Genocide. The bill on the  criminalization of the Armenian Genocide is also under consideration  by the French parliament. The fact of the Armenian Genocide was also  recognized by the Council of Europe, the European Parliament, the UN  Subcommittee on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of  Minorities, the United Nations Commission on War Crimes, and the  World Council of Churches. The Armenian Genocide was also recognized  by New South Wales (Australia), Sicily, Sao Paulo, Ceara and Parana  (Brazil), Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (Great Britain),  Basque Country, Catalonia, Balearic Islands (Spain), two dozen  Spanish cities, Quebec (Canada), Kiev, Uzhhorod, Izyum, Goloseevsky  district (Ukraine), Crimea, Karkhayent, Alakuas and Elda and 48 US  states.
