Though, I am convinced that the offense was genocide and that the Turks deny the genocide is bizarre, I do feel uncomfortable of the legislative of a third party declaring it as such. After all, there are a lot of Crimes against Humanity that should be officialized, if one wants to start down that path. A declaration of such crime committed by France in Algeria would be an obvious place to start, as it is more recent and a member of the same club. That the Bundestag mentioned its own participation as I understand it did, does lend the vote some credibility. But, what the consequences of such a proclamation are is not quite as clear.
You could add Darfur to the list.
