3 Turks Elected to Dutch Parliament
24.11.2006 18:29 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Christian Democratic Party
maintained positions of the strongest faction of the
Dutch parliament. Prime minister Jan Peter
Balkenende's party won the most seats in Dutch
elections, but results today showed a sharply divided
nation with no alliance winning a clear mandate to
govern. Dutch support was split between a government
coalition that has been tough on immigration and
pro-business, and socialists - led by the Labor Party
- promoting a softer approach. It was clear no
combination of left or right-wing parties will easily
muster a majority in parliament.
As PanARMENIAN.Net reporter came to know from a source
in Netherlands, 3 Turks Nebahat Albayrak, Coskun Coruz
and Sadet Karabulut were elected to the parliament. In
the words of the coordinator of the Armenian
community, Karabulut is of Kurdish nationality.
Three Turkish candidates were expelled from the party
lists for their refusal to recognize the Armenian
Genocide. The Turkish community of Netherlands
proposed 12 candidates and was even going to boycott
the election. As for Nebahat Albayrak, she once said
that recognizes the Armenian Genocide but then
renounced her statement.
