It is reported that Labor Party (PvdA) in Holland, urged its candidates to recognize so called Armenian genocide before general elections that will be hold on June 9.
In a mail that is sent to the canditates of Turkish descent, it is written that PvdA supports bringing the issue of "necessity of bringing the issue of recognition of so called Armenian genocide during the negotiations with Turkey". It is stated that denying the resolution will pose an obstacle to the candidacy.
