YEREVAN, DECEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS. An article about the Armenian
Genocide by Simon Bendtsen, which has been published in Berlingske
newspaper in Copenhagen on December 4, became the most discussed
topic of the socio-political circles in Denmark. This issue appeared
in the centre of attention of Danish reviews, electronic newspapers,
radio and television.
As reports "Armenpress" the journalist introduced in the article
a suggestion, which was announced during the opening of temporary
exhibition entitled "Armenian Genocide and Scandinavian Response". The
suggestion by the Embassy of Turkey in Denmark was about organizing
an exhibition entitled the so-called "Armenian Genocide". Danish
People's Party Spokesman of Foreign Issues Søren Espersen expressed
an opinion according to which this is the same, as the Neo-Nazis
organize an exhibition dedicated to the Holocaust.
Prominent Danish historian, who is engaged in the studies of genocide,
Matthias Bjørnlund hinted that if the initiative of the Turkish
Embassy is allowed, Royal Library of Copenhagen, as a scientific
organization, will balance the position of the two countries in the
history. The Armenian Genocide is a reality and any other argument
is not scientific. The author of the article cited words of the
Ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to Denmark Hrachya Aghajanyan,
who said that he is hopeful that Royal Library of Copenhagen will not
succumb to the possible pressures of the Turkish Embassy and will not
allow the organization of such event. According to the media largest
Danish opposition party Venstre demanded from the Minister of Culture
not to allow the Turkish Embassy to organize such event in the Royal
Library of Copenhagen.
