/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian Genocide was one of reasons
of loss of the Dutch Labor Party (PvdA), the
Federation of the Armenian Organizations of
Netherlands (FAON) told PanARMENIAN.Net. On the one
hand many Turks did no appreciate the sending away of
Turkish genocide denier Sacan to place 53 of the PvdA
candidate list, but neither they like the tuning
around position which leader of the Dutch Labour Party
Wouter Bos took later. `We may call it genocide, but
we have to watch our word. We don’t know whether it
matches the juridical sense of the word genocide yet,
like in genocide treaties. But also Armenians (of
course) and many Dutch voted for other parties, like
Christian Union (who launched the genocide recognition
motion in 2004)," he said.
