Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel for “common sense’ in connection with the plans of Bundestag to discuss the draft resolution on the Armenian Genocide recognition. The leaders discussed that topic by phone.
“We expect Germany to act from the positions of common sense,” the TV channel cites the President. According to the Turkish leader, the approval of the given document will “harm the bilateral ties”.
On June 2, Bundestag plans to discuss the bill, which recognized the 1915 events in the Ottoman Empire as Genocide. This initiative is supported by the main political forces of Germany, including Merkel’s party.
