AMSTERDAM, APRIL 24, ARMENIANS TODAY – NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian
community of Holland will commemorate the 93rd anniversary of Armenian
Genocide at the memorial of the Armenian Genocide in Assen.

As the local Armenian websites report, the April 24 Committee of
the Federation of Armenian Organisations in The Netherlands (FAON)
will hand over a Dutch translation of the book "The First Holocaust"
by Robert Fisk on Armenian Genocide to the Permanent Commissions of
European Affairs and Foreign Affairs of the Dutch Parliament.

The April 24 Committee of FAON will submit a petition on April 22
together with the Fisk’s book to the Dutch Parliamentary Commisions
regarding lack of progress in Turkey on such issues as the human
rights, freedom of expression and rights of minorities, as well as
continuation of persecution of Armenians and other Turkish citizens. It
is also noted that there is no progress in recognising the past,
particularly the Armenian Genocide, by Turkey.
