NETHERLANDS PARLIAMENT FACES BILL CRIMINALIZING REJECTION OF ARMENIAN
`GENOCIDE’

Following France and Belgium, the Netherlands’ Parliament is also set
to consider a bill which would criminalize rejection of the so-called
Armenian genocide. The proposal was prepared by the Christian Unity
Party represented by three deputies in the 150-seat Parliament.
Meanwhile, a bill regarding pro-Armenia Belgium’s genocide in Congo
has been presented to Britain’s Parliament. The bill, initiated by
the efforts of a joint British-Turkish platform, calls on the Belgian
government to face its massacre in Congo in 1885-1908 and apologize
to the Congolese people./Turkiye/
