Dutch Parliament Lower House Recognizes Armenian Genocide

NL Times

A majority in the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of Dutch parliament, approved two motions regarding the Armenian genocide of 1915 on Thursday, NL Times reports.

 One states that the Tweede Kamer "recognizes the Armenian genocide", the other that a Dutch Minister or State Secretary should attend the commemoration of this genocide in Armenia in April.

Both motions were submitted by ChristenUnie parliamentarian Joel Voordewind. All four coalition parties supported the motions. 

 

This decision is expected to further sour the relationship between Turkey and the Netherlands, ANP reports.
