YEREVAN. – It is resentful that German Minister for Foreign Affairs Frank-Walter Steinmeier allows himself to be pressured by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, said Ursula “Ulla” Jelpke, Left Faction MP of the German Bundestag (parliament) and member of Die Linke [(The Left)] Party of Germany.

She stated the aforesaid when commenting, at the request of Armenian News-NEWS.am, on Steinmeier’s statement that he is quite pessimistic regarding the Armenian Genocide resolution passing in the Bundestag.

“It is outrageous that a representative of the Social Democratic Party [of Germany] is saying such a thing,” Jelpke noted. “It is clear that he allows himself to remain under the pressure of Erdoğan. For that reason, during the [Bundestag] debates on the genocide resolution on June 2, we definitely will attack against Steinmeier.”
