“The recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Bundestag was undoubted,” – said the head of the Chair of Turkish Studies of Oriental Faculty of YSU, Professor Alexander Safaryan. “The fact that the recognition of the Armenian Genocide was introduced to the Bundestag by the ruling coalition and opposition lawmakers, it was clear that it should have been adopted nearly unanimously or unanimously. Incidentally, ethnic Turkish lawmakers also voted in favor of the resolution,” – he said at the press conference hall of “Armenpress” news agency on June 7.
As Safaryan observed, today, Turkey has serious problems in terms of the clashes available in the fields of the choice of intellectual value system and political and cultural, “These problems associated with Noeosmanism policy are increasingly aggravated. On the other hand, the aggressive foreign policy pursued by the Turkey will definitely create problems in the domestic life of Turkey.” According to the Turkologist, the Bundestag decision is actually one circle of the long-lasting process for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. It is neither the first nor the last, “The Armenian Genocide is a recognized Genocide, and the Bundestag decision in itself is important and will be an incentive for other countries for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Germany’s established statehood, the powerful culture, and its carrier German nation can never be subjected to pressures by Turkey and Azerbaijan. On the other hand, Germany’s ethnic Turkish politicians voted in favor of the recognition by passing an important cultural and political “examination.” The whole Europe should pass this exam.” Migration inflows is a grave problem for the EU, especially for Germany, to which, according to Alexander Safaryan, Germany should answer by “adaptation” steps, “One of them was the Bundestag decision. German powerful thinking is based on a more value system. As for Erdoğan’s remark of reminding Germany about the Rwandan genocide, the speaker noted that it is a manifestation of a blackmail policy and stressed that any empire is genocidal by its nature, “It speaks to the fact that Turkey does not have other leverage other than running a weak blackmail policy. Any deterioration of relations of Turkey with France, Germany or the EU, first of all, will harm Turkey and Azerbaijan.”
