A Turkish contributor to one of the Dutch news websites was dismissed for denying the Armenian Genocide and not apologizing, reported the Turkish Hurriyet newspaper.

Armand Sağ, the Turkish contributor to the Dutch De Dagelijksestandaard news website wrote an article entitled “Turks never committed Armenian genocide.” Sağ said that the article evoked numerous responses from Armenians, who called to the editor. The editor demanded that he offer apologies to Armenians. After the Turkish journalist refused, he was dismissed. Sağ says he was aware of the Armenian Diaspora’s influence, but he did not expect it to be so serious. “Twelve thousand Armenians and but 450,000 Turks are living in Holland. I am sorry, but the Turkish community did not give me sufficient support and I remained alone,” Sağ said with regret.
