    Public Turkic organizations and representatives of the Azerbaijani
    diaspora in the Netherlands have held protests against opening of a
    monument to so-called Armenian genocide in front of the Armenian
    church in the city of Almelo, Azerbaijani State Committee for Work
    with Diaspora said on April 25.

    During the protest action held in front of the building of the Almelo
    municipality, leaders and representatives of the Turkic public
    organizations made speeches condemning the opening of the monument.

    The permission was given only for opening a monument to Armenians,
    while later a "genocide" inscription was made on the monument,
    according to Ilhan Ashkin, President of the Dutch Azerbaijan-Turkey
    Cultural Association.

    Ashkin went on to add that the Turkic public organizations and
    representatives of the Azerbaijani diaspora in the Netherlands are
    ready to protest until the monument is destroyed.

    The protesters have appealed to the municipality of the Almelo city
    regarding the issue.

    Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor the
    Ottoman Empire allegedly carried out "genocide" against the Armenians
    living in Anatolia in 1915. While strengthening the efforts to promote
    the so-called genocide in the world, Armenians have achieved its
    recognition by the parliaments of some countries.
