YEREVAN (YERKIR) – Enacting the proposed law presented to the Dutch
Parliament which criminalizes denial of the Armenian Genocide is
decidedly difficult.

Turkish origin Dutch parliamentarian, Fadime Orgu, considers that
legislative proposal that upset Turks in the Netherlands will be
delayed in the commission. Orgu said the Armenian lobby seeking
the support of the public opinion in various countries now tries to
stir the Netherlands, “the country of tolerance”, and Turks in the
Netherlands will not allow this to happen.

Turkish Deputy said: “We will deal with the matter with our friends
within and outside the party. We need to be calm, strategic and
diplomatic. A huge responsibility has been entrusted to Turkish civil
institutions, businessmen and the public. If we strengthen our lobby,
we can stop the draft in its initial stage.” Orgu said it will be
very difficult to pass the draft even if it passes the commission,
reported Zaman.

“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
