Germany to declare massacres a 'genocide'
德国认定土耳其实施种族灭绝
The German parliament is expected to approve a symbolic resolution on Thursday that declares that the mass killing of Armenians by Ottoman forces that began in 1915 was a "genocide".
德国联邦议院定于周二表决通过一项具有象征意义的决议，该决议称1915年奥斯曼土耳其帝国军队对亚美尼亚人的屠杀属于“种族灭绝”。
Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenian were killed by Ottoman Turks during and after the First World War. Many scholars view the killings as the first genocide of the 20th century.
历史学家估计，在一战中及一战后被奥斯曼土耳其人杀害的亚美尼亚人多达150万。很多学者认为这是20世纪的第一次种族灭绝行动。
Turkey denies that the killings were genocidal, and contends that those who died were victims of civil war and unrest. Turkey also insists the death toll has been inflated.
土耳其不承认曾实施种族灭绝，辩称死者是内战和动乱的受害者。土耳其还坚称死亡人数被夸大。
More than 20 other countries, including France, have passed similar resolutions in past years, infuriating Turkey.
在过去几年里，包括法国在内的20多个国家都通过了类似的决议，土耳其被激怒。
