State Secretary Menno Snel of Finance will attend the commemoration of the Armenian Genocide in Armenia next week, NL Times reports.
According to the source, this is the first time a member of the Dutch government will be present at the commemoration. From now on a Dutch Minister or State Secretary will attend the commemoration every five years.
Two months ago the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of Dutch parliament, officially recognized the genocide of 1915.
