    APRIL 24 COMMITTEE URGED DUTCH SENATE TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE


    02.07.2005 03:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ April 24 Committee for recognition of the Armenian
    Genocide, which forms part of the Federation of Armenian Organizations of
    the Netherlands, has submitted an application to the Senate on June 28,
    which urges the Parliament upper chamber to express attitude to the
    recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the course of World War I. The Dutch
    House of Representatives has acknowledged the Armenian Genocide on December
    21, 2004. The Government hailed the move as stated by Foreign minister
    Bernard Bot. If the Senate adopts a statement on recognition of the Armenian
    Genocide, the Government of the Netherlands will have an integrated stand
    over the issue. The application also demands censuring Turkey's denialist
    policy. Europe should pay serious attention to the policy along with its
    impact on the freedom of speech and national minority rights (as it is
    known, these are part of the Copenhagen criteria), which should influence
    the date of starting talks over Turkey's accession to the EU, the document
    authors are sure, Regnum news agency reported.
