Meanwhile, the Armenian and Kurdish organizations are planning to hold a joint protest near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin against the planned visit of the Turkish Prime Minister to Germany.
The organizers of the protest accused the prime minister of Turkey in the oppression of Kurds and Alawites, and the denial of the Armenian Genocide. It is assumed that representatives of about 40 NGOs, including the Federation of Kurdish Associations, Alawite’s youth organizations, the Council of Armenians in Germany and Assyrian Federation of Germany will join the protest.
