The Assyrian Democratic Organization
(ZNDA: Cologne) Banibal Atman, a 16-year-old Assyrian from Germany, met with the Chancellor Gerhard Schr?der recently and used the opportunity to discuss the role of Turkish government in the 1915 Seyfo Genocide.
Banibal presented Mr. Schr?der a pen on which the following phrase was inscribed: “Turkey should recognzie the Assyrian Genocide.”
“He was very impressed in the Assyrian Seyfo and I had a chance to talk to him for about 5 minutes. In a short way I explained to him what Seyfo was. He was very fascinated that Assyrians have survived for over 5000 years,” commented Banibal Atman.
Banibal Atman is the nephew of Mr. Sabri Atman, a foremost Assyrian genocide scholar.
