“As a boxer Arthur Abraham, I am proud for the fact that German Bundestag adopted on June 2 a resolution condemning the Armenian Genocide. We, Armenians living in Germany, as well as numerous Armenian organizations working and individuals residing there have exerted great efforts to serve to this pan-Armenian cause over the years. That has been supposed to be the case. We should promote our struggle through all over the world aimed at the recognition, condemnation and reparation of the Armenian Genocide, making use of every floor, in my case  - the boxing ring,” reads the statement.
