Swedish leftist MP Hans Linde presented an inquiry to the legislative
body of the country connected with the communal grave found in Turkey
on October 17, which, according to Swedish historian David Gaunti, is
the grave of 270 Armenians and Assyrians murdered at the Instruction
of Young Turk leader Halil Edip.

"Ulkede Ozgur Gundem" newspaper reports that before December 6 the
Swedish Parliament will discuss the above-mentioned inquiry. According
to the source, the Foreign Minister of Sweden, who is due to
respond to the inquiry, has demanded reports from Swedish diplomatic
representations in Ankara and Istanbul. Commission formed of diplomatic
representatives of Sweden will visit Ksirabebaba village to investigate
the case.

No study of the case has been launched in Turkey so far. According to
the same source, Turkish army officers have instructed to close the
entrance of the cave where the grave was found. Turkish soldiers do
not allow journalists to enter the cave, and dwellers of the village
have been prohibited to show the way to the cavern. Recently, local
Police told mass media representatives that the grave has been covered
with soil.
