Aznavour Demands That Germany Recognizes Armenian Genocide
Berlin, April 01, Armenpress: World renowned French singer and composer of Armenian origin Charles Aznavour demands that Germany must recognize the Armenian genocide as "a crime against humanity, as France and Switzerland did."
In an article published by German newspaper Die Zeit Wednesday, the son of Armenian refugees from Turkey who fled it at the beginning of the 20-th century, Aznavour explains that Germany also bears responsibility for that crime, "not because German government officials ordered the extermination of Armenians but because they watched it happen as spectators."
"If Germany recognizes the Armenian genocide that would be a great step to urge other countries to do the same," he says.
