The Armenian Genocide is kept in focus of the Dutch press. Big article is published in the Hague-based Volkskrant, part of front page and on page 4, about the Israeli denial of genocide, title “Israel want to know no other genocide,” subtitle: Stress on uniqueness holocaust and Turkish pressure make Armenian genocide claim impossible, the Federation of Armenian communities of Netherlands told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. It is a rather accusing article for Israel, featuring Yair Auron, professor in history and George Hintlian, Armenian historian and sociologist.
In Trouw a small article that Sezer has not congratulated Pamuk on winning Nobel Prize yet, while he normally would have to come first. Mehmet Ali Birand calls it inappropriate. The silence of the president probably meant to make clear that he does not like Pamuk’s texts about the Armenian Genocide. They suggest Erdogan did congratulate Pamuk also was meant in his fight with Sezer, the newspaper writes.
