Netherlands not to recognize 1915 events as "genocide" - Deputy PM
Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands Lodewijk Assher said that the Kingdom will not recognize the events of 1915 as the so-called "Armenian genocide", Anadolu agency reported.
Asscher said that the Kingdom will continue to use the term "problem" with regard to this issue, as it was adopted in 2004 in the parliament.
The German parliament adopted June 2 a resolution recognizing
the 1915 events as the "Armenian genocide".
Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor, the
Ottoman Empire, committed the so-called genocide against Armenians
living in Anatolia in 1915.
While strengthening the propaganda of "genocide" in the world,
Armenians achieved its recognition by parliaments of some
countries.
