/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The historical decision by the Swedish parliament
recognizing Seyfo as a de facto genocide on Assyrians, Greeks and
Armenians is creating a considerable political crisis in Swedish
politics. The issue has dominated the headlines in Swedish media for
several days, Assyrian International News Agency (AINA) reported.
`The Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, in a taped interview
with Afram Barryakoub for Hujada, the magazine of the Assyrian
federation in Sweden, said he recognized the genocide one week before
winning the national elections in Sweden in 2006. This fact is set to
create problems between Reinfeldt and his foreign minister, Carl
Bildt, one of the most pro-Turkish European foreign ministers,' the
article reads. `Bildt has said he will not consider the decision of
the parliament but will do everything he can to avoid it becoming
official Swedish foreign policy. The response to his remarks have come
from Hans Linde, the foreign policy spokesman of the Left Party, who
said his party will consider pressing charges against Carl Bildt with
the national constitution committee.'
