BERLIN – ”Turkish-German relations will be negatively affected if the bill prepared by German Union Parties’ (CDU/CSU) parliamentary group defending Armenian claims of genocide passes from the German Parliament,” Yasar Yakis, chairman of the Turkish parliamentary commission for EU adjustment, said on Thursday.
Yakis, speaking at a press conference staged to give information about his meetings with the German officials, said they conveyed the uneasiness felt over the bill.
Yakis stated that CDU politicians told him that the bill was prepared to contribute to Turkish-Armenian relations. ”We have told them that Turkish-Armenian relations in fact would be damaged from the bill,” Yakis noted.
Yakis said the bill was used as a tool for domestic policy by some parties, and reiterated that the bill was full of mistakes.
Yakis and the other group members later left for Istanbul.
