BRUSSELS, JUNE 7, NOYAN TAPAN. Yves Letterman, member of Flemish
Christian-Democratic party of Belgium, who is the main contender for
prime minister, declared that nobody can force him to qualify the
1915 events as a genocide.
Letterman declared that he, as a politician, has nothing to do with
"genocide allegations" and added that the subject should be left
for international courts. He underlined that "as far as there is no
court decision on that issue," he as a politician "won't consider it
his business."
The Flemish newspaper De Morgen, published in Belgium, touched upon
Letterman's words, mentioning that the latter "will lose votes"
acting that way.
To recap, elections in Belgium will be held on June 10.
