    TURKS TRYING TO IMPEDE GENOCIDE LAW DISCUSSION IN DUTCH PARLIAMENT

    YEREVAN (YERKIR) - Enacting the proposed law presented to the Dutch
    Parliament which criminalizes denial of the Armenian Genocide is
    decidedly difficult.

    Turkish origin Dutch parliamentarian, Fadime Orgu, considers that
    legislative proposal that upset Turks in the Netherlands will be
    delayed in the commission. Orgu said the Armenian lobby seeking
    the support of the public opinion in various countries now tries to
    stir the Netherlands, "the country of tolerance", and Turks in the
    Netherlands will not allow this to happen.

    Turkish Deputy said: "We will deal with the matter with our friends
    within and outside the party. We need to be calm, strategic and
    diplomatic. A huge responsibility has been entrusted to Turkish civil
    institutions, businessmen and the public. If we strengthen our lobby,
    we can stop the draft in its initial stage." Orgu said it will be
    very difficult to pass the draft even if it passes the commission,
    reported Zaman.
