            Actually, the opposition(Social-Democrats, Green party and Left-party) voted in favour of recognition but the current center-right coalition that is in power voted aginst recognition. What made the recognition possible was that some members of center-right parties broke ranks with their own parties and voted together with the opposition.

            This is a great day!

              My mistacke, Social Democrats used to vote against so I assumed they were still in power. But you are right. Social democrats are now in opposition. But there were 4 pro-govermental deputats who voted for. Befor discussion they were 3. One was missing for passing the resolution.

              anyway . YES IT IS A GREAT DAY !!!!

                  Yes, that was Fredrik Malm(who is a member of the The Liberal Party called "Folk-partiet" in Swedish) and his party sits in the current center-right coalition. He said that although he was in favour of recognition of the Genocide against the Armenians, Assyrians and Pontian Greeks he couldn`t vote in favour because (i) he`s the The Liberal Party`s spokesman on foreign-issues and (ii) he didn`t want to go against the agreement that the current center-right coalition have - and that was to not recognize the Genocide against Armenians, Assyrians and Pontian Greeks so therefore he said he would abstain to participate in the vote today.

"The debates lasted more than 5 hours," Avedyan said.
