Germany's public TV station ARD broadcasted a documentary that focuses on Armenian allegations related to 1915.
Turkish Community of Germany (TGD) reacted to the documentary and stated that the documentary is not objective. General President of TGD Kenan Kolat stated that the documents shown in the documentary was right but many other documents were not shown on purpose. "This proves that the documentary was not objective," said he.
Stressing that they are towards discussion of 1915 incidents sincerely, Kolat said, "On the other hand, such documentaries do not contribute integration of Turkish community with Germany nor the process of rapprochement between Turkey and Armenia.
Stressing that the documentary did not give place to the documents in Turkey’s and other countries’ archives, Kolat said that broadcast of this documentary by German public TV channel while there is a process of rapprochement between Turkey and Armenia creates concerns that there are circles that are against Turkish-Armenian rapprochement in Germany.
Kolat said that they sent a letter to ARD and requested from public TV channel to broadcast another documentary that will give place to the opinion of both sides.
