Swedish parliament to vote on Armenian Genocide motion


The Swedish Parliament prepares to vote on a motion that describes the killing of Armenians, Assyrians and Chaldeans during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire as Genocide, Today’s Zaman reported.

Turkish politicians have already warned Swedish authorities that “voting on such a motion would damage bilateral relations and make the approval of protocols signed by Turkey and Armenia more difficult.”

The current Swedish parliament has to handle all the motions before the parliamentary elections scheduled for September.
