/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Leaders of the Armenian community of Holland
were invited to the Foreign Ministry to meet with Chief of the
South Eastern Europe Department Henk Voskamp, who explained the
position of the Netherlands in the Armenian-Turkish relations. As
PanARMENIAN.Net was informed from Hague, activation of the Armenian
community is due to the parliamentary election scheduled on November
22, in which ethnic Turk candidates will also take part. We remind
that 3 candidates are already left out of the lists of the Labor and
Christian-Democratic Parties for denial of the Armenian Genocide. On
behalf of the Federation of Armenian Organizations of the Netherlands
statements were sent to leaders of Dutch parties, drawing special
attention to the Armenian Genocide issue, which resulted in radical
measures by the leaders. As a result they can lose votes of ethnic
Turks, which number over 300 thousand in Holland.
