Having soured relations with Ankara following the adoption of the Armenian resolution in German parliament (Bundestag), hundreds of thousands of refugees in Istanbul are more hopeful about going to their dreamland, Germany, if Turkey opens its borders. The Bundestag on Thursday adopted a controversial resolution that defines the 1915 events in the Ottoman Empire as genocide. In spite of Ankara's warnings to Berlin about the possibility of deteriorating ties due to the symbolic resolution, German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrat Union (CDU) and other parties in the Bundestag voted in favor of it. Both President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım conveyed their frustration with Germany, which is a very close ally, both politically and economically.Both President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım conveyed their frustration with Germany, which is a very close ally both politically and economically.

"Open the borders," Ammar said in comments directed to Erdoğan.Aaya, a 15-year-old girl from Damascus, is also waiting for a decision from Germany that would reunite her with her family. "The decision takes too much time. If there is an opportunity in the near future for us to go to Europe, I swear to God I will go," she said.Playing games with Aaya on the street, Adila, 13, from Aleppo joined the conversation. "My family will decide if we will go or not," she said, adding that an opportunity could lead her father to make some decisions. "I would go to Germany," she said.Firas, a 31-year-old refugee from Aleppo, said he has been in Istanbul for seven months while his wife is in Europe waiting for a family reunion.

"My brothers are in Germany. I work here only because I need to earn money to be able to buy food, clothes and other needs," he said.Counting down the days before he leaves for Europe, Fazin said he did not set out on the perilous journey because it was winter.

My father will decide whether we stay or not, but I still dream of Germany," Basri added.
