The Committee for English-Turkish Dialogue in Britain has prepared a bill on the recognition “of a genocide committed by the Belgian government in Congo”. The bill has already been inscribed on the agenda.
“The facts of extermination of the millions of people by the governmental forces of Belgium in 1885 - 1908 in Congo that was Belgium’s colony at that time are reflected” in the bill, PanARMENIAN.Net reports quoting the Anatoly Information Agency. The bill’s authors request that “the Belgian government should apologize for the genocide in Congo before the country’s citizens and the international community”.
To note, current month the Parliament of Belgium will adopt a law on one year imprisonment of those who do not recognize the Armenian Genocide. The bill Turkish lobby has submitted for the discussion at the British Parliament is a sort of reply to the step undertaken by the Belgian Parliament. The Committee for English-Turkish Dialogue stated the Parliament of Belgium should either deny the adoption of the law or recognize the fact of “the genocide in Congo” and apologize before the international community for killing millions of citizens.
