History of Truth

German Chancellor Angela Merkel called Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım to congratulate him on his new duty on Monday, and expressed Germany's support to Turkey in its fight against terrorist groups.

During the conversation, PM Yıldırım expressed Turkey's concerns on the controversial bill brought to Germany's parliament whether to recognize the events of 1915 as genocide.

Previously on Monday, Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmuş said that Germany should act with caution and reminded that the country is home to a large Turkish community.

He said parliaments should not decide on history and that all countries should make documents available to historians so they can shed light on the killings.
