Honorary citizen
As a result of the resolution passed by the German Bundestag on June 2, 2016 to condemn the genocide of the Armenians , Bundestag member Cem Özdemir was stripped of his honorary citizenship of the city. Özdemir had previously campaigned for Germany to recognize the genocide and stated that he had no knowledge of this honorary citizenship.
In the same context, the CDU MP Bettina Kudla , the only one who voted against the resolution, was made an honorary citizen of Pazar.
