The timing of the recognitions was a bit odd, at just the time when Armenia-Turkey relations were normalizing.

In Sweden, it was the opposition that voted in the resolution with the help of a handful of errant MPs from the government parties. It has kinda screwed with the foreign policy profile of the government, which has been one of Turkey's biggest supporters in the EU pushing for their accession.

I don't know exactly know why not, but I presume if Turkey wanted to they could word it so they recognize the genocide while rejecting any reparations claims.

Why doesn't Russia admit that Holodomor was a genocide?

[AngelinaTheElf]

I think they are under the impression that it can't be a genocide if there are survivors.

What's this supposed to mean?

It means onodera is a ****ing antisemite, but what else do you expect from a Russian?

On topic: Erdogan's response is the stupidest reaction imaginable. Making Armenians suffer because of perceived Swedish moral superiority is just icing on the turdcake. yep.

Hopefully they won't "expel" them by marching them hundreds of miles on foot...
