Armenia, a country whose history is built on a comprehensive lie, has once again appealed to the international community with a request to recognize their claims of "Armenian Genocide”.

This time, the s issue of recognizing the so-called “Armenian genocide” was discussed as part of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s visit to Berlin on April 6.

During the joint press conference, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the German Parliament will discuss a draft law in connection with the 1915 events.

Merkel added that she wants relations between Turkey and Armenia to be restored. “The relationships that began many years ago have become active again,” the chancellor believes.

In 2015, Germany's decision to present a parliamentary resolution that described Turkish actions against Armenians in 1915 as genocidal caused tensions with Turkey.

Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey’s predecessor, the Ottoman Empire, committed the so-called “genocide” against Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915.

While strengthening the propaganda of “genocide” throughout the world, Armenians achieved its recognition in the parliaments of some countries.

Turkey, on the other hand, invites historians to come to the table to debate the issue rather passing groundless resolutions and decision.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said there was no systematic attempt to destroy the Armenian people and vowed never to recognize the killings as genocide.

Ankara earlier criticized the European Parliament for passing a resolution that called on Ankara to recognize the Armenian genocide, and Pope Francis for describing the Armenians as the victims of "the first genocide of the 20th century".
