Nebahat Albayrak, in second position on the list of the main opposition
Labour Party (PvdA) candidates, has recognized the so-called Armenian
genocide.
After the main Dutch parties removed three Turkish candidates from
their electoral lists, Albayrak said she backed the parliamentary
motion describing the deaths as genocide, in an interview with the
analysis magazine HP/De Tijd, adding that the form of its occurrence
needs to be investigated.
Albayrak, who has served in the parliament since 1998, in her previous
statements said the jurists would determine the use of "genocide"
in response to the Armenian Diaspora's claims, and avoided using the
definition in her interviews.
The media strongly criticized Albayrak for being indecisive.
Meanwhile, Turkish candidates Ayhan Tonca , Osman Elmaci (CDA)
and Erdinc Sacan (PvdA) were removed from the election list for the
general elections.
