Claims of Alleged Armenian Genocide Spread

"Claims of Alleged Armenian Genocide Spread

Claims of an alleged Armenian genocide are being raised in order to affect the EU agenda following the EU decision to begin negotiations with Turkey on October 3rd.

The Dutch Parliament made an unbinding advisory decision to bring the allegations to the table during Turkey's negotiation process. France has also announced that Turkey must acknowledge the alleged genocide during the negotiation process. Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan said they will be working to get the Armenian genocide issue onto the United Nations (UN) General Council agenda in 2005."
