The UAAS applauds the Congress for its historic decision
After a long debate, the Social Democrat Party Congress 2009 disregarded the recommendation from the Party Executive, approving the first clause of motion J28, stating that "the Social Democrats shall act for the genocides Seyfo (1915 Genocide) and Al-Anfal (Iraqi Kurdistan) to be recognized by Sweden, EU and UN".
The Union of Armenian Associations in Sweden (UAAS) applauds the Congress for its historic decision, noting that this action shall in no way harm the democratization process in Turkey, the research on the genocide, nor the reconciliation process between Turkey and Armenia.
The Union looks forward to this decision of the Congress being reflected in the Social Democratic activities within the Swedish Parliament and in the future work of their MPs in regard to the existing parliamentary motions calling for an official Swedish recognition of the 1915 Genocide.
