ArmInfo. In the near future Sweden will discuss the resolution on
recognition of the Armenian genocide. The opposition Social-Democratic
Party of Sweden has initiated it.
When commenting on this information a top-ranking diplomatic source
said that recognition of the Armenian genocide by Sweden is a very
realistic prospect, taking into consideration the fact that in all
probability Social-Democratic Party of Sweden will gain a victory as
a result of the parliamentary election.
To note, the parliamentary election in Sweden will be held in
September 2010.
To note also, Turkish officials have already started threatening
official Stockholm that this may damage the bilateral relations
and complicate the process of ratification of the Armenian-Turkish
Protocols in the Turkish parliament.
To recall, the same was initiated in 2007 but that time the resolution
was not adopted.
