/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Social Democratic Party of Sweden has sued the
Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt for opposing the Armenian Genocide
resolution adopted by the Riksdag. During a telephone conversation
with his Turkish counterpart, Fredrik Reynfeldt said that adoption
of this resolution by the Swedish Parliament made him upset.

He assured the Turkish Prime Minister that the resolution does not
obligate the government of Sweden and has no legislative rule.

Social Democratic Party member Erik Ostberg subjected to criticism
Fredrik Reinfeldt’s statement . "The apology to Erdogan contradicts
to the adopted resolution and the laws of Sweden. Such behavior of the
Swedish Prime Minister shows that the government is acting against the
people’s will. That is why we filed a lawsuit against Mr. Reinfeldt,"
he said.

On March 11, Swedish Parliament with a vote 131-130 recognized the
Armenians, Assyrians/Syrians/Chaldeans and Pontic Greeks.
