ArmInfo. Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Swedish
parliament Goran Lennmarker does not think that adoption of the
resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide will impede the relations
of Sweden and Turkey. G. Lennmarker made such statement talking to
ArmInfo while in Yerevan to participate in the PA NATO seminar.
He said that Sweden and Turkey have very good relations and Sweden
supports Turkey's joining the European Union. Sweden tries to help
Turkey to join the given European structure. Therefore, Lennmarker
said, he is not concerned about the consequences of the resolution
on Armenian Genocide for the two countries' relations, since they
are on rather a strong basis.
For his part, Suat Kiniklioglu, a member of Justice and Development
Party ruling in Turkey, told ArmInfo that the relations of Turkey
and Sweden will probably worsen. "We have recalled our Ambassador
for consultations. This applies both the USA and Sweden. You will
see the consequences soon," the Turkish parliamentarian warned.
