As a German: about fucking time. Our spineless capitalist fuckhead governments have been refusing to take responsibility for this for ages while pointing fingers (rightfully) at the Turks for not acknowledging the genocide of the Armenians. Unfortunately, they will just ignore this call by amnesty as well.

Namibian genocide was the first genocide of the 20th century
