LEADER OF LABOR PARTY OF NETHERLANDS IS SUSPECTED OF ENGAGEMENT IN
TURKEY’S CAMPAIGN ON DENIAL OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

The political parties of the Netherlands sharply criticized the
leader of the social- democratic labor party, Voiter Boss, who has
recently stated that Holland had acted hastily when determined the
events in Anatolia as the Armenian Genocide.

According to the "Yeni Shafrag" Turkish newspaper, the
representatives of Christian-democratic, liberal and Christian
parties had accused the labor party leader of its position being in
conflict with the common opinion of Holland’s society. The Dutch
politicians called Boss liar and claimed he had paid homage to the
Turkish elector. The source reports the statement of the labor
party’s leader was made to assure the voting in favor of Turkey.
