Various institutions formed mostly by Germans of Armenian origin put forward a motion to the Petition Commission desiring the recognition of so-called Armenian genocide at the Federal Assembly. However, reportedly, the Petition Commission, chaired by Heidemarie Luth, a representative of the PDS, was not in favor of presenting a motion to the Federal Assembly regarding the petition.
A SPD parliamentarian who wanted to be anonymous said, "The Federal Assembly is not a place to discuss the Armenian genocide allegations. It is the duty of historians. We, social democrats, do not believe the subject will be brought to the Federal Assembly floor."
