The Labor Party of Holland (PvdA), introduced an Armenian Genocide
recognition bill before June 9 parliamentary elections in the country.

The Party notes that recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey
is a necessary step in the discussion process of Turkey’s integration
in the European Union.

According to Hurriet daily, the draft law has been also introduced
to the Party’s MPs of Turkish origin. In its electronic letter to
the MPs the Party underlines that the bill’s rejection will be an
obstacle to their candidacy.

The bill has been already approved by the congress of the party.
