A weathered metal monument, topped with a stylized pomegranate, stands under a clear, sunny sky in Cologne, Germany. The monument's triangular base features carved text in Turkish. The prominent heading reads "BU ACI HEPİMİZİN ACISIDIR," which translates to "This pain is our common pain." The text below details historical events from 1915-1918 during World War I, stating that "bir milyon Ermeni kadın, erkek ve çocuk evlerinden alınarak tehcir edildi ve katledildi," meaning "one million Armenian women, men, and children were taken from their homes, deported, and massacred" in territories that are now part of Turkey. It further discusses the responsibility of the Armenian people, the Ottoman Empire, and its ally, the German Empire, specifically mentioning Kaiser Wilhelm II's German officers. The lower part of the text touches upon preventing the humiliation of minorities and violence among people. In the background, a large green metal railway bridge spans across the scene. A white and blue train crosses the bridge from left to right during the video. Numerous colorful "love locks" are visible on railings on both sides of the monument in the mid-ground, suggesting a popular tourist spot. The bright daylight indicates a clear weather day. The camera slowly pans down the monument, focusing on the inscription.
