March 17, Swedish Parliament will table a motion on voting of Armenian Genocide Resolution.

According to Turkish Beyazgazete, the recognition of Genocide of Assyrians and Celts will be discussed. Azerbaijani-Turkish organizations of Sweden collected 5000 signatures against the initiative and sent them to the Chairman of oppositional Swedish Social Democratic Party — Mona Sahlin.

As NEWS.am reported earlier, Turkish parliamentary delegation being in Sweden expressed concern over the introduction of resolution on Armenian and Assyrians Genocide perpetrated by Turks to Swedish Parliament.

Turkish MPs gave warning to their Swedish colleagues about consequences of resolution adoption, namely that it might affect Turkey-Sweden relations, as well as hinder Armenia-Turkey Protocols’ ratification in Turkish Parliament.

According to Turkish Zaman, Swedish authorities are reluctant to have this document considered in Riksdag and tend to send it to historians’ committee. However, authorities’ efforts to impede the resolution adoption are not welcomed in the Parliament.
