News.am – Belgium’s Christian democratic party Humanist Democratic Centre (CDH) expelled Turkish MP Mahinur Özdemir for denying to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, the Belgian newspaper Knack reports.
“Ms Özdemir refused to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, which contravenes CDH values. Tortuous position is impossible here; utmost clarity is what is needed,” CDH committee statement reads.
Earlier, party’s President Benoît Lutgen said that if there was an Armenian Genocide denier in the party, they would be immediately expelled.
