About the subject: In the first two decades after the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany the armenian genocide was no topic in the political discourse in germany. Only after the growing self-organisation and political self-regognition of the armenian community in the 70s, does the regocnition of the genocide became a demand with which german politicians were faced, first primarily regionally, then however late in the year 2000 on the federal level through a petition to the German Bundestag to recognize the genocide.
However, until now for the german side the subject is of only little relevance. The factors detemining this posiition will be described and analyzed through documents of the Foreign Office, press articles and interviews with various members of previous and actual german governments and other politicians.
Organized by the German-Armenian Society.
