    Dutch MFA: Most scholars are unanimous on Armenian Genocide issue

    Theme: Politics


    Is what happened to the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire genocide in
    legal terms? The Government of the Netherlands is not the addressee of
    this question.

    The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, Bert Koenders,
    responded in the aforesaid manner to a question posed by Dutch MP
    Pieter Omtzigt.

    The FM's responses are posted on the official website of the
    Government of the Netherlands.

    Omtzigt, in his queries, noted that the vast majority of the world's
    scholars, including the International Association of Genocide
    Scholars, recognize the fact of the Armenian Genocide.

    And to the question on the Dutch government's view with respect to the
    genocide of Armenians and other Christian nations in the Ottoman
    Empire, Koenders responded: "Most scholars are unanimous on this
    issue. [But] one way or another, the [Dutch] government's opinion on
    the acceptance of this term will not impact, at this time, the need to
    choose their future and bring meaning to it by the two countries [i.e.
    Armenia and Turkey]."
