Yerevan/Mediamax/. Germany may not send a delegation to Yerevan on the Armenian Genocide Centennial on April 24.

German Deutsche Welle reports this referring to its sources. The German Foreign Ministry reported that they didn’t yet clarify who would represent Berlin in the events due in Yerevan.

“It is possible that only the German ambassador will attend the service, whereas France will be represented by the president himself, Francois Hollande. Historian Jurgen Gottschlich has called this ''scandalous””, Deutsche Welle reports.

Deutsche Welle has also noted that the German parliament plans to remember the victims of the Armenian genocide with a debate.

The publication quotes German historians as saying that German authorities had clear information on extermination and eviction of Armenians over 1915-1916.

In particular, historian Christin Pschichholz from the University of Potsam who had studied the German Foreign Ministry’s archives concluded that "the German diplomats painstakingly took note of everything happening around them at that time”.

Specifically, a dispatch sent on July 7, 1915 by the German Ambassador in Constantinople to the Imperial Chancellor reads "it is the declared intention of the government [meaning the Turkish government] to destroy the Armenian race in the Turkish Empire."
