Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen arrived in Ankara as part of the
delegation accompanying Queen Beatrix of Holland two days ago, and met
yesterday with Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul on a variety of topics.

Verhagen reportedly reiterated to Gul that the Netherlands
administration believed that during the EU accession process for
Turkey, there were certain responsibilities which the Southern Cypriots
had to live up to. The two ministers also dicussed the Armenian claims
of genocide, as well as the controversial article 301 of the Turkish
Penal Code.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
