Armenians of Europe welcome conviction by the Dutch court to punish Ilham Askin  , president of the Turkish-Azerbaijani Union.

Chants like “Karabakh will be the grave of Armenians” has no place in the Netherlands, in Europe, president of the European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy Kaspar Karampetian said in a statement.

According to him, this is a clear message to those who call for violence and hatred, be it in Sweden, in the Netherlands, or elsewhere.

“We will be very vigilant on this matter. Under the false pretext of free speech, no Azerbaijani or Turk can make such wide-spread Armenophobic statements.  We congratulate our colleagues in the Netherlands for taking this issue to the court and finishing it off with success,” he added.
