An article about Armenian Genocide by Simon Bentsen published by
Danish Berlinske daily has been much discussed by Danish news websites,
radio and television.
During the opening of exhibition titled "Armenian Genocide and
Scandinavian Response", Turkish Embassy in Denmark offered to hold
an exhibition titled "so-called Armenian Genocide."
The author quotes Danish People's Party Spokesman Søren Espersen who
said the suggestion sounded so as if neo-Nazi organized an exhibition
on Holocaust.
In his turn Danish historian and expert on genocides, Matthias
Bjørnlund, said the Armenian Genocide is a fact and any other
assertions are not scientific.
Armenia's Ambassador to Denmark also expressed hope that the Royal
Library in Copenhagen would not hold an exhibition under this title.
According to the article, Denmark's opposition Venstre party demanded
that culture ministry must ban holding such event.
