/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Nebahat Albayrak, in second position on the list
of the main opposition Labour Party (PvdA) candidates, has recognized
the 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, reports the Zaman.
