[Why Israel does not recognize the Armenian ‘genocide’]There are about 1.5 million Turks living in Germany, more than anywhere else apart from Turkey. What is particular about Turks living in Germany is that despite their assimilation in that nation, they still hold voting rights in Turkey. Two years ago, Germany allowed Turkey to set up voting boots in Germany for the Turkish presidential elections for the first time. Turkey has disputed the death toll and refuses to acknowledge the violence as a genocide. Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim was quoted as saying that the German resolution was "ridiculous."
