By doing so, the report said, Chancellor Angela Merkel`s government hoped to resolve a dispute that has seen German parliamentarians barred from visiting Bundeswehr troops stationed at the Incirlik airbase in eastern Turkey.
"Der Spiegel" reported that a deal had been agreed between the German Foreign Office and Merkel`s Chancellery that would see the government directly distance itself from the Armenia resolution.
Germany`s Foreign Ministry has sought to resolve the dispute in recent weeks, with officials reportedly being told that Ankara wanted the German government to distance itself from the legislature`s vote. According to "Der Spiegel," Merkel`s spokesman Steffen Seibert would announce that the resolution had no binding legal effect on the actions of the German government.
Note, on June2, 2016 Germany’s Bundestag (parliament) adopted a resolution recognizing the 1915 events as “Armenian genocide”. The resolution is called as `Remembrance and Commemoration of the `Genocide` of Armenians and Other Christian Minorities 101 Years Ago`.
