Namik Tan, spokesperson for the Turkish Department of Foreign Affairs said that "we are deeply worried about the one-sided approach of our ally Netherlands’ political parties on the so-called Armenian genocide as this puts a limit on the freedom of expression."
Namik Tan, talsmand for det tyrkiske udenrigsministerium, udtalte, at "vi er dybt bekymrede over at de politiske partier i vor allierede Holland udviser en ensidig stillingtagen til det såkaldte armenske folkedrab, eftersom dette begrænser ytringsfriheden."
