However, he remarked that the number of those discontent with the three candidates excluded is growing and the rating of the Labor Party and Christian Democrats has raised with 3 per cent. "Yesterday one of the leading TV channels covered a rally held by Turk students in one of the Dutch towns in protest of violations of freedom of speech. Turkish organizations met with Christian Democrats, who have not abandoned their position since the recognition of the Armenian Genocide in 2004. They called on Turks to discussion on the Genocide," Hakhverdyan said. The parliamentary election is due in Netherlands on November 22.
