Turks Warn Germany Ahead Of Armenian Genocide Vote

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan warned Germany Tuesday that its plans to declare the 1915 mass killing of Armenians a genocide would damage bilateral ties, raising new concerns about an EU-Turkey deal on  migration championed by Chancellor Angela Merkel.

German lawmakers are expected to approve a symbolic resolution on Thursday that labels the killings of up to 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman forces "genocide," a description that Turkey has denied for a century and strongly rejects.
