Немецкий парламент принял закон о геноциде армян

В четверг немецкий парламент принял законопроект о признании массовых убийств армян в конце Первой мировой войны геноцидом.

Резолюцию Бундестаг Германии под названием "В память Геноцида армян и других христианских меньшинств в 1915 и 1916" была поддержана канцлером Ангелы Меркель и ее правящей христианско-демократической партией, а также социал-демократами.

Использование слова геноцид в этом контексте является спорным, и Турция решительно выступила против этого. Президент Турции Реджеп Эрдоган в телефонном разговоре с Ангелой Меркель выразил свое недовольство по поводу голосования, в то время как новый премьер-министр Турции Бинали Йылдырым назвал его "абсурдным".

"Несправедливо, когда геноцид армян нельзя назвать геноцидом лишь из-за возмущения главы другого государства", - заявил Саргсян в интервью немецкой газете Bild в среду.

Парламенты более чем 30 стран, в том числе России, Франции, Италии и Канады, признали события 1915-16 геноцидом. Все турецкие правительства последовательно выступают против этого.

"Обращение к историческим событиям может быть болезненным, но в тоже время честное и самокритичное переосмысление прошлого не представляет угрозу отношениям с другими государствами и является условием для примирения и сотрудничества", - отметил Норберт Ламмерт во время дебатов.

Syrian president al Sharaa at the White House

Syrian president, Mohammed al Sharaa met with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday (10 November). Trump met with Sharaa in the first-ever visit by a Syrian president to the White House, six months after the two first met in Saudi Arabia, and just days after Washington said that the Syrian leader, who once led an Al-Qaeda affiliate group, was no longer a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist." Washington suspended the imposition of Caesar Act sanctions on Syria in part for 180 days, the Treasury Department said as the meeting took place. The move replaces a previous waiver enacted on 23 May, it said On Friday, the US lifted sanctions on Sharaa and Interior Minister Anas Khattab, a day after the UN Security Council took the same step. Sharaa, 42, took power last year after his fighters launched a lightning offensive from their Idlib and overthrew longtime Syrian President Bashar al-Assad just days later on December 8. Syria's regional realignment has since moved  away from key allies of the former regime, Iran and Russia, and toward Turkey, the Gulf - and Washington. Syria's presidency said that Sharaa and Trump discussed the bilateral relationship, "the ways to strengthen and develop it, as well as a number of regional and international issues of common interest." After al Sharaa and Trump met in Riyadh in May, Trump announced he would lift all sanctions on Syria.
