BERLIN (ArmRadio)””German-Turkish film director Fatih Akin and other artists urge Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Bundestag to finally call the Armenian Genocide as such, Die Zeit reports.

In an open letter the artists call “to take a stand on June 2 and refer to the crimes committed against the Armenian people as genocide. This is more than a historical period; more than an apology to the descendants of the victims. “Imagine you lived in Germany and the Holocaust would be denied ”“ would that not be a continuation of the actual fact?”
