Serbian government against Armenian "genocide" resolution
[Report by "S.S.R.": "Turkey Matters More to Us"]
The adoption of a resolution condemning the genocide perpetrated by
Ottoman Turkey against the Armenian people from 1915 to 1923 would not
be in Serbia's foreign political interest.
This is the opinion that the government forwarded to the assembly on
Wednesday [ 23 June] in response to a motion from the Radicals for
adopting such a document.
"The adoption of such a declaration would impact negatively, among
other things, on bilateral political and economic relations with
Turkey, which is an important factor in the region and our significant
foreign political partner," the government maintains. "The adoption of
the resolution would be counterproductive."
After the adoption of the Srebrenica Declaration, the SRS [Serbian
Radical Party] deputies in the assembly moved for the parliament to
condemn also crimes against Armenians.
