Turkey Attacks Netherlands on Srebrenica’s Genocide

After the Dutch Lower House recognized the Turkish mass murder of Armenians in 1915 as a genocide, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted.  In a statement, the ministry said that the Dutch decision is inappropriate as the Netherlands ‘looked the other way’ during the genocide in Srebrenica. In 1995 Bosnian Serb forces killed 7000 Muslims while Dutch UN peacekeepers stationed in Srebrenica failed to protect the population.  The Dutch were accused of complicity for ignoring what happened there.

Officers’ Association: Politicians Risk Lives of Military

Ruud Vermeulen, Chairman of the Officers’ Association says that Dutch politicians knowingly have taken irresponsible risks which have endangered the lives of military personnel.  He said that politicians are always quick to judge others but it would be better if they became aware and looked at their own functioning.  He mentioned inter alia among others former Labour Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bert Koenders (Labour), who neglected the criticism of the commandos concerning the possibility of executing the mission in Mali. Koenders remarked, “We decide what you must execute or not.” The officers require a parliamentary inquiry into the many problems in the military.

Eindhoven Mayor: Citizens Not Involved In Fight against Criminality

Eindhoven mayor, Jorritsma, tried last year to involve citizens in the battle against criminality.  He now admits that this has failed.  He pointed out that one of the reasons is the increase of neighborhood ‘kings’ i.e., people who dominate neighborhoods and have the most impressive car, but don’t have any registered income.  These people apparently are allowed to do anything and act with impunity.

Netherlands Withdraws Ambassador from Turkey

The Dutch Foreign Office has announced that there is currently no view concerning normalization of relations with Turkey.  Since March 2017 Dutch Ambassador, Kees van Rij, has not been allowed into Turkey.  Therefore, the Netherlands has officially withdrawn its ambassador and it will also not allow a new ambassador from Turkey to be received.  The reason for the conflict is that Turkey wants apologies from the Netherlands for sending a Turkish minister back to Germany. The Turkish minister wanted to campaign in favor of the Turkish presidential referendum in the Netherlands.  The Netherlands does not intend to apologize.
