Sweden’s opposition Social-Democratic Party has issued a formal
complaint against the country’s Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt,
accusing him of acting out against Swedish law.
According to Turkish news agency Anadolu Ajansi, Social-Democratic
Party deputy Svend Erik Osterberg said that Reinfeldt’s statement
that the resolution recognizing the genocide of Armenians, Assyrians
and Chaldeans is a non-binding document for Swedish authorities and
is not a legally binding document (that is, it cannot be enforced by
law) runs counter to Swedish law.
"In a phone conversation with Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan, Fredrik Reinfeldt said that the decision made by the riksdag
will not matter and apologized [for the decision], which runs counter
to our laws. Such an approach means that the authorities are going
against the people’s decision. For this reason, we have filed a
complaint against Fredrik Reinfeldt in the Supreme Court of Sweden,"
said Osterberg.
