The German Foreign Ministry has issues a statement on the cancellation of Dresden Symphony Orchestra’s concert dedicated to the Armenian Genocide at the German Consulate General in Istanbul. “The premises of the Consulate in Istanbul will not be free on November 13”, “Armenpress” reports German MFA made such a strange argumentation. According to DPA agency, the decisions to cancel the concert was made when the ministry was informed that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım, Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and Minister of Culture and Tourism Nabi Avcı were invited to attend the concert. German MFA mentioned that the invitations had been sent without consulting with the Ministry. Dresden Symphony Orchestra plans to perform the concert called “Aghet” (tragedy) in Belgrade and Yerevan in November.
