/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "If Turkey ever wants to be part of Europe, it has
to improve its record concerning freedom of religion and expression,"
said leader of the Dutch Christian Democratic faction, Pieter van
Geel. The Dutch Christian Democrats support Turkish membership of
the European Union in principle.
In 2006 the Dutch parliament adopted a law recognizing the Armenian
Genocide. Presently, the majority of parliamentarians call on the
Turkish government to repeal article 301 which restricts freedom
of speech.
