Three of the four parliamentary parties in Turkey signed under the statement that condemns the adoption of the German Bundestag resolution which recognizes Armenian Genocide, according to Milliyet daily newspaper of Turkey.

The MPs of the—pro-Kurdish—Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), however, refused to sign this statement, and therefore numerous Turkish media again called HDP the political party of “traitors.”

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.

The resolution also notes that the Bundestag regrets that the German government at the time did nothing to stop this crime against humanity, and therefore the Bundestag also acknowledges the respective historical accountability of Germany.
