Germany recognizes 1915-1916 massacres as Armenian Genocide.

Didn't the Germans commit genocide on the Herero and Namaqua in 1904?

Why isn't Germany recognizing that as a genocide first? Oh, right. For the same reasons the turks are now ridiculed for: there was no definition for genocide at that time

This whole story makes me lol

That is most likely because you are misinformed.
Things often look funny when you see only half the picture.

jesus guys here think that turkey is a modern country with industrie and stuff... turkey is a 3rd world country which has accomplished some economic sucess because many turks are working/ living in europe and send money and modern civilisation ideas home to their family. Without the turkish emigration wave they would still be a piss pour country, erdogan has little to nothing to do with this development. 'And now he is actively fucking turkeys tourism by threatening and attacking germanys points of view, trying to apply turkish laws and ideas on german public opinions and courts. Many germans now make their holiday rather in greece than in turkey, because of erdogan.

Do you understand the difference between a state and a government?

Armenian education is probably one of the most nationalistic in this and all other parallel universes. There is still a widespread desire for Western Anatolia in Armenian society. Similar "ideas" exist in Greek society as well, although much less common and probably seen among more nationalist circles. Armenians national identity is built upon genocide claims, which is a bit pathetic.

I still want East-Frisia, Bentheim, Mark, Cleves, Artois (Coastal parts of Picardie) Flanders and Wallon intregrated into the Dutch nation (Wallon for lebensraum purposes Muhahahaha, gotta go somewhere when dykes break eh?) And im not considered a Nationalistic type of a fella

German MPs of Turkish origin face death threats as Erdogan says their blood is 'tainted'

6 Jun, 2016 10:27

German MPs of Turkish origin who voted to recognize Armenian genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Empire are facing death threats, after the Turkish president said their blood is tainted and should be tested in a lab for ‘Turkishness.’

Recep Tayyip Erdogan continued his vocal criticism of last week’s German resolution in a speech at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University, which was televised in Turkey on Sunday.

“Turkish?” he exclaimed as he was speaking about the German MPs. “Their blood should be tested in a lab!”

“Their blood is impure and we know whose spokespeople they are,” Erdogan told a cheering audience. “They are the long arm of the separatist terrorists placed in Germany.”

Eleven MPs of Turkish origin voted for the resolution last week, sparking a barrage of accusations from Ankara. German Green Party leader Ozcan Mutlu is at the forefront of the verbal assault and was granted police protection due to the large number of death threats he has received from Turkish nationalists.

“I am seriously worried,” he told public broadcaster ARD on Sunday. “I've never experienced this amount [of abuse]. Some manic, crazy person might hear that and think ‘the leader has given his orders.’”

Mutlu is a long-time critic of Erdogan and campaigned for the Armenian genocide resolution. Turkish officials and media branded him “a German idiot,” “a traitor” and “a so-called Turk” for his role in the vote.

A spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Steffen Seibert, said during a Monday press conference that "the resolution was a political initiative that emerged from the midst of the Bundestag, which is a democratically elected, independent organ under our constitution."

"The Bundestag reached a sovereign decision. That must be respected," Seibert said.

The German MPs are not the first targets of the kind of racist rhetoric used by Erdogan on Sunday. The Turkish president used the same kind of language when describing members of the Turkish parliament from the opposition pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party.

During 1915, between 800,000 and 1.5 million ethnic Armenians were killed by Ottoman forces. Turkey disputes the scale of the tragedy. It also insists that the deaths were not the result of an intentional government policy, saying that the Armenians sided with Russia against their own government during World War I.
