/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Genocide is kept in focus of the Dutch
press. Big article is published in the Hague-based Volkskrant, part
of front page and on page 4, about the Israeli denial of genocide,
title "Israel want to know no other genocide," subtitle: Stress on
uniqueness holocaust and Turkish pressure make Armenian genocide claim
impossible, the Federation of Armenian communities of Netherlands
told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. It is a rather accusing article for
Israel, featuring Yair Auron, professor in history and George Hintlian,
Armenian historian and sociologist.

In Trouw a small article that Sezer has not congratulated Pamuk
on winning Nobel Prize yet, while he normally would have to come
first. Mehmet Ali Birand calls it inappropriate. The silence of the
president probably meant to make clear that he does not like Pamuk’s
texts about the Armenian Genocide.

They suggest Erdogan did congratulate Pamuk also was meant in his
fight with Sezer, the newspaper writes.
