YEREVAN. – Shavarsh Kocharyan, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, wrote a tweet in connection with the Bundestag’s passing of the resolution on Armenian Genocide.

“The adoption of the resolution by the German Bundestag proves that Turkey’s denialism [regarding the genocide] accelerates the international recognition of Armenian Genocide,” Kocharyan tweeted.

The Bundestag, the lower house of the German parliament, on Thursday formally recognized the Armenian Genocide, with the aforesaid resolution and with only one vote against and one abstention.
