    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Protests against the exclusion of three candidates
    - ethnic Turks denying the Armenian Genocide - are going on. Parties
    lose votes, chairman of the Federation of the Federation of Armenian
    organizations of Netherlands Mato Hakhverdyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net
    reporter. However, he remarked that the number of those discontent with
    the three candidates excluded is growing and the rating of the Labor
    Party and Christian Democrats has raised with 3 per cent. "Yesterday
    one of the leading TV channels covered a rally held by Turk students
    in one of the Dutch towns in protest of violations of freedom of
    speech. Turkish organizations met with Christian Democrats, who have
    not abandoned their position since the recognition of the Armenian
    Genocide in 2004. They called on Turks to discussion on the Genocide,"
    Hakhverdyan said. The parliamentary election is due in Netherlands
    on November 22.
