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.
