Cornelius Janzen, who hosts the “Culture Hour” program on the German-language 3Sat satellite TV, presented a video recently, and entitled “Germans and the Armenian Genocide.”

The maker of this video states that the political archives of the German MFA contains hundreds of documents that attest to the systematic slaughter of Armenians and the German Empire’s role in this tragedy.

Dr. Rolf Hosfeld, the scientific managing director of the House of Lepsius Organization (Lepsiushaus), and Jürgen Gottschlich, a foreign correspondent for German daily Die Tageszeitung in Turkey, also were guests of this program.

Gottschlich expressed a conviction that the German Empire’s role in the Armenian Genocide was more than a mere observer. He has studied the Turkish and the German archives, and come to the conclusion that Germany had provided an active political support in the carrying out of this genocide, and so as to fulfill its own military objectives.

And as per Hosfeld, the aforementioned events had unrolled in the context of military thinking, and with the desire to win the First World War at any cost. He believes that Germany has tolerated the Armenian Genocide. Hosfeld also criticizes Germany’s current position on this matter, and accuses it of “amnesia.”
