The European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy handed over the ANCA Western Region’s ''2016 Freedom Award'' to German Parliament Member Cem Ozdemir and the entire German Bundestag.

Ozdemir and the Bundestag were honored during the 2016 ANCA-WR Annual Gala back in October for their courage in resisting pressure from the government of Turkey to introduce and pass a resolution formally recognizing the Armenian Genocide as well as Germany’s complicity in this crime against humanity, ArmRadio reports.

Ozdemir, who was unable to attend the Gala due to election season back home, accepted the award and expressed appreciation for the recognition with a video message.
