Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, during his talk with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, also reflected on the Armenian Genocide issue.

The PM, commenting on the draft genocide resolution to be debated in the German Bundestag (Parliament), again spoke about the need to set up a commission of historians, informed the official website of the German government.

“I’ve noted that these topics really need to be discussed at the academic level, in a special commission, which should also comprise German historians,” Davutoğlu said. “We [i.e. Turkey] want to achieve a historic reconciliation with the Armenians, and we stand ready for any cooperation.”

Merkel, for her part, thanked for Ahmet Davutoğlu’s proposal regarding an Armenian-Turkish reconciliation, and noted that, in her view, they can continue to actively work together.
