Social Democratic Party of Sweden has sued the Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt for opposing the Armenian Genocide resolution adopted by the Riksdag. During a telephone conversation with his Turkish counterpart, Fredrik Reynfeldt said that adoption of this resolution by the Swedish Parliament made him upset.

He assured the Turkish Prime Minister that the resolution does not obligate the government of Sweden and has no legislative rule.

Social Democratic Party member Erik Ostberg subjected to criticism Fredrik Reinfeldt’s statement . “The apology to Erdogan contradicts to the adopted resolution and the laws of Sweden. Such behavior of the Swedish Prime Minister shows that the government is acting against the people's will. That is why we filed a lawsuit against Mr. Reinfeldt," he said.

On March 11, Swedish Parliament with a vote 131-130 recognized the Armenians, Assyrians/Syrians/Chaldeans and Pontic Greeks.
