    GENOCIDE EXPULSION

    Hurriyet, Turkey
    Sept 28 2006

    It would appear that official recognition of Armenian genocide
    claims is a pre-condition for participation in local elections in
    the Netherlands this year.

    A total of 3 ethnically Turkish citizens living in the Netherlands
    have been removed as candidates from their parties' pre-election lists
    due to their unwillingness to recognize Armenian claims of genocide as
    true. With local elections coming up on November 22, a campaign started
    by Armenians living in the diaspora has met with success, as the Dutch
    Social Democrat Workers' Party and the Christian Democrat Party both
    removed Turkish candidates from their candidate lists following the
    candidates' refusal to acknowledge the so-called Armenian genocide.

    The removal of Social Democrat Workers' Party candidate Erdinc Sacan
    occured first this week, but was followed shortly by a decision by
    the Christian Democrat Party to remove both Ayhan Tonca and Osman
    Elmaci from its candidate lists.
