YEREVAN, JUNE 23, ARMENPRESS. The three-member faction of the Denk political party of the Dutch parliament, well known for servicing the interests of Turkey and Azerbaijan in the Netherlands, has changed its position and joined the resolution adopted by the parliament last week, calling on the foreign minister to pressure Azerbaijan at a European level to immediately release the Armenian prisoners of war and other civilian captives.

Denk party is well known for promoting the interests of the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The party is usually elected to the parliament with the votes received from the Turkish community.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
