The inclusion of the Armenian Genocide subject in Germany’s educational program in being discussed, Anto Aznavurian – Head of the Armenian National Committee of Germany told Armenpress.
“The Armenian Genocide is not fully presented in schoolbooks
of Germany. Currently the inclusion of the subject is being discussed. This will contribute that representatives of different nations – including Turkish, living in Germany, will know the truth and will have a clear perception of what actually happened,” Aznavurian said.
Aznavurian says similar attempt was made previously – a pilot program was implemented in the state of Brandenburg, Germany.
“We want this experience to expand throughout the entire Germany, and to include the Armenian Genocide in school books. I think the Bundestag’s adoption of the Armenian Genocide recognition resolution will contribute to this program,” Aznavurian added.
