    SWEDEN DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ALLEGED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    Baku 9 June


    The article titled Karl Bildt: Sweden does not recognize Armenian
    genocide has been published in the daily newspaper The Armenian News
    (Les Nouvelles dArmenie) in Paris.

    According to the article, asked by Swedish Liberal People's party
    offical Cecilia Wikstrom about the so-called Armenian genocide, Karl
    Bildt, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden, said Sweden doesnt
    officially recognize it. According to the minister, it is
    responsibility of historians to examine this question carefully. The
    minister stressed that official recognition of the so called Armenian
    genocide may cause problems for Sweden and groups supporting 1915
    allegations will be put in a quandary.

    Even if the 1915 events occurred, Turkey is not responsible for what
    had happened in the past, and therefore, that there is no legal ground
    for that issue, the minister added.
