    Turkish diaspora accuses Sweden of double standards
    Sat 13 March 2010 | 05:23 GMT Text size:


    Head of the Turkish Diaspora of Sweden has commented on the adoption
    of the resolution on the so-called "Armenian genocide" in the Swedish
    parliament.

    "I regret the decision which might cast shadow on the relations
    between Turkey and Sweden", head of the Turkish diaspora of Sweden
    Hasan Delek said.

    He noted that "it is difficult to fight with a Christian issue in the
    Christian country. This is how most Christian countries including
    Sweden perceive the Armenian issue".

    "When we explain them that there was a war that time and not only
    Armenians but also Turks and Azerbaijanis and other people died, they
    do not want to understand these explanations and always put the
    Armenian issues on the first plan", he said.

    "If Sweden is such a just country, why does it not want to listen to
    the Khojaly residents-the live witnesses of the Armenian crimes? This
    is a political decision and the obvious demonstration of double
    standards, therefore we condemn this decision of the Swedish
    parliament", he said.

    Delek also thanked the Azerbaijani diaspora that has always supported
    the Turkish community and resisted this injustice.
