Turkish parliamentary delegation being in Sweden expressed concern
over the introduction of resolution on Armenian and Assyrians Genocide
perpetrated by Turks to Swedish Parliament.
Turkish MPs gave warning to their Swedish colleagues about consequences
of resolution adoption, namely that it might affect Turkey-Sweden
relations, as well as hinder Armenia-Turkey Protocols’ ratification
in Turkish Parliament.
According to Turkish Zaman, Swedish authorities are reluctant to
have this document considered in Riksdag and tend to send it to
historians’ committee. However, authorities’ efforts to impede the
resolution adoption are not welcomed in the Parliament. Nonetheless,
the source says that Swedish Parliament rejects numerous similar
projects each year.
Riksdag schedules to consider and put to vote resolution on Genocide
against Armenians and Assyrians by Turks within two weeks.
