Multiple Turkish news agencies on Saturday compared German Chancellor Angela Merkel with Adolf Hitler after the Bundestag earlier this week declared the Armenian massacre of 1915 a genocide.
One glaring example came from the Turkish newspaper publication Star Gazetesi, who posted a picture of the German leader with her name printed above her upper lip in block lettering, made to look like Hitler's infamous "toothbrush" mustache.
The resolution, recognizing the scope of Armenian suffering for the first time in Germany, states that the Armenians' fate exemplified "the history of mass exterminations, ethnic cleansing, deportations and yes, genocide, which marked the 20th century in such a terrible way."
It also acknowledges that the German Empire, then a military ally of the Ottomans, did nothing to stop the killings.
In response, Turkey's Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Friday that by passing the resolution, the German parliment was making a "historic mistake".
Turkey earlier recalled its ambassador to Germany on Thursday in protest against the parliament resolution that came at a time when Europe is looking for Ankara's help in the migrant crisis.
Considering she permitted a comedian to be sued for insulting Erdogan.... I think she is learning what happens when you are not principled and try to be ''in the middle''.
Why are they coming at Merkel anyways, she bends over backwards for her Turk overlords daily. Didn't even show up to the vote on Thursday. Very evil woman.
I mean I get why they're a bit sketchy? It's not like the Holocaust where the Jews were clear victims, it's not like the Armenians were angels either. That doesn't justify mass murder, though!

You're ignorant. You shouldn't speak on things you know nothing about, you make yourself look like a jackass.
but here in Italy it's ILLEGAL to deny the Armenian genocide. It's not only Germany.
