Bookmark and Share

Turkish parliamentary delegation being in Sweden expressed concern over the introduction of resolution on Armenian and Assyrians Genocide perpetrated by Turks to Swedish Parliament.

Turkish MPs gave warning to their Swedish colleagues about consequences of resolution adoption, namely that it might affect Turkey-Sweden relations, as well as hinder Armenia-Turkey Protocols' ratification in Turkish Parliament.

According to Turkish Zaman, Swedish authorities are reluctant to have this document considered in Riksdag and tend to send it to historians' committee. However, authorities' efforts to impede the resolution adoption are not welcomed in the Parliament. Nonetheless, the source says that Swedish Parliament rejects numerous similar projects each year.

Riksdag schedules to consider and put to vote resolution on Genocide against Armenians and Assyrians by Turks within two weeks.
