PERSBERICHT
Nederland erkent Armeense Genocide
Den Haag, 21 december 2004 - De Armeense Federatie is verheugd dat vandaag de Tweede Kamer met algemene stemmen een motie over de erkenning van de Armeense genocide heeft aangenomen.
Jarenlang heeft de Armeense gemeenschap bij Kamer en Regering op erkenning van de Armeense genocide van 1915 aangedrongen. Speciaal het afgelopen jaar, in de aanloop naar en tijdens het Nederlandse voorzitterschap van EU, is door het 24 april comite van de Armeense Federatie voortdurend actie gevoerd om de Armeense kwestie onder de aandacht van de kamerleden en van het Nederlandse publiek brengen.
De motie werd ingediend in het debat over de uitkomsten van de Europese Top m.b.t. Turkije. In dat debat stelden vrijwel alle fracties vragen aan de Regering over het uitblijven van conclusies ter zake van de Armeense genocide. Dit ondanks inzet van o.a. Frankrijk en het Europees Parlement en ook van Minister Bot zelf, die de kwestie steeds bij de Turkse collega's aan de orde heeft gesteld. Een meerderheid van de Kamer had daarom gevraagd.
In de motie wordt de regering gevraagd om "de erkenning van de Armeense genocide voortdurend en nadrukkelijk aan de orde te stellen in de dialoog met Turkije".
Christen Unie fractievoorzitter Rouvoet diende de motie in, die de steun kreeg van alle andere partijen in de Kamer.

Considering that the Turkish Community of the Netherlands is far more numerous than the Armenian Community, I wonder what "explanation" the Jurks and the Muslim ass kissing rednecks will fabricate? The "Electoral Campaign" BS would be obviously untenable!

Press BULLETIN
The Netherlands recognises Armenian genocide
The Hague, 21 December 2004 - the Armenian federation has been
delighted that today the House of Commons has adopted unanimously a
motion concerning the recognition of the Armenian genocide.
Many years' the Armenian community has insisted at chamber and
government on recognition of the Armenian genocide of 1915. Especially
last year, in run-up to and during the Dutch presidency of EU, by 24
April comite of the Armenian federation constant action have been
conducted for the Armenian question under the attention of the Member
of Parliament oaths and of Dutch public bringing.
The motion was given notice of in the debate concerning the outcomes
of the European summit with regard to Turkey. In that debate stalks
nearly all fracties ask to the government concerning staying away
conclusions to the point of the Armenian genocide. This in spite of
commitment of among other things France and the European Parliament
and also of minister Bot himself, which the question has brought up
always at the Turkish colleagues. For this reason a majority of the
chamber had asked.
In motion the government is asked "bring up the recognition of the
Armenian genocide continuously and expressly in the dialogue with
Turkey".
Christian Union fractievoorzitter Rouvoet served motion in, which the
support got of all other parties in the chamber.

Btw, the motion was unanimously accepted. I made a mistake when I said "the majority". It was everyone. There were already hints that this was going to happen today, seen that many had already signed the motion, and many more sounded positive. The fact that FM Bot welcomed the motion in parliament last night, said enough. But of course the actual outcome was still a surprise. You never know what might happen last minute..
Sasun, you guys are one of the first to know Does that compensate?

It's more than just recognition. It is forcing Holland to press Turkey to recognize the Armenian genocide too. Some people didn't really consider this an official recognition by the Dutch government. But it is. Never before has the entire Dutch government unanimously agreed to refer to what has happened as genocide openly, and to press Turkey to do so too! In other words, it's not just a piece of paper; it's something that will have to be put into practice as well.
