Head of the Turkish Diaspora of Sweden has commented on the adoption of the resolution on the so-called “Armenian genocide” in the Swedish parliament.
“I regret the decision which might cast shadow on the relations between Turkey and Sweden,” head of the Turkish diaspora of Sweden Hasan Delek said.
He noted that “it is difficult to fight with a Christian issue in the Christian country. This is how most Christian countries including Sweden perceive the Armenian issue.”
“When we explain them that there was a war that time and not only Armenians but also Turks and Azerbaijanis and other people died, they do not want to understand these explanations and always put the Armenian issues on the first plan,” he said.
“If Sweden is such a just country, why does it not want to listen to the Khojaly residents-the live witnesses of the Armenian crimes? This is a political decision and the obvious demonstration of double standards, therefore we condemn this decision of the Swedish parliament,” he said.
Delek also thanked the Azerbaijani diaspora that has always supported the Turkish community and resisted this injustice.
