Armenians living in Germany do not have enough opportunities and rights to impose any pressure on the German government, said professor Zhirayr Kocharyan.

Kocharyan, member of the committee on Armenian Genocide recognition in Germany, said Armenia-Turkey protocols gave no positive results as not a single state recognized the Genocide after the documents were signed. In other words, neither reconciliation nor football diplomacy advanced the recognition process.

“Germany has spent big money to organize four Armenia-Turkey dialogues. Actually, such events give no positive results,” he emphasized.

Kocharyan said the Armenian side opposes holding such discussions as the Genocide is an indisputable fact.
