Swedish FM rejects claim for recognizing Armenian Genocide
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt has once again rejected Liberal People's Party parliamentarian's request on recognizing the Armenian Genocide. Politicians do not face the task of adopting decisions that may change the course of historical developments, CNN Turk quotes the Swedish diplomat as saying. Besides, using the term "genocide", according to Bildt, may impede the activities of the group dealing with the study of historical developments.
