DUTCH PARLIAMENT OVERRULES "ARMENIAN GENOCIDE" MOTION
Cihan News Agency, Turkey
April 10 2015
The motion proposing to recognize 1915 events in Tukey as "Armenian
genocide" was overruled by Dutch parliament with 78 pros against 63
cons on Friday.
Dutch Parliament refused to approve the resolution prescribing to
adopt in government's official language "Armenian genocide" instead of
"Armenian genocide issue" which has already been used since long
years. On the other hand, the parliament also overruled another
motions requiring to send King Willem Alexander, Prime Minister Mark
Rutte or at least one of the ministers to Armenia to attend
commemoration ceremony which will be held on April 24, while the
motion calling both Turkish and Armenian nations to develop mutual
perspective and expressing the wish that commemoration ceremonies
could contribute respect and acceptance between two communities was
overwhelmingly approved.
The DENK movement - a political organization established Turkish
people living in Netherlands - which is being represented at the
parliament with two deputies, stated that they have voted against the
resolutions and they will keep to spend all of their efforts to block
such motions.
"Dutch parliament is not the right place to make a judgement about
some unfortunate occurrents which happened 100 years ago," DENK deputy
Tunahan Kuzu underscored.
