True. It should be there too then. But it isn't. In fact: why haven't the Germans built a monument for their own victims yet ?

Check this out, Kurdish-Turkish fight in France. Watching the video you forget that you are in France, but in some neighbourhood of Turkey:

Only when I browsed through the vid and saw the boulevards I realised that it was Paris. Those people should be deported: no questions asked.

It's a symbol of STAKING YOUR CLAIM. I would go even further: it's, quite frankly, a casus belli.

ROFL casus belli?! how can be xyz country responsible for actions of its citizens abroad. you can safely delete the "law" from your nickname.
such things are insult maybe for insecure xenophobic paranoids that see offense in a memorial or showing a foreign flag in a different country. for everybody else its a normal thing.

i guess i cant add anything else to that.

How would you feel if foreigners would do this in your own country ?

Then you're a "man" (not even that) without honour or principles and I feel sorry for you.

There are plenty of Dutch monument on non dutch ground, Like the banner of Hope in South Africa which is placed by the dutch people for a dutch resistance fighter WW2.

honour and principles have nothing to do with a country. "love for a country" is weird after all. i may like the area where i live or where i was born but love? love for material things?

True and also those should only exist with the consent of the locals and also there the same rules should be applied. I know, for one, that the Dutch war cemeteries in Indonesia are preserved by both the Dutch and Indonesian governments. The difference here is that the monument in South Africa has to do with Dutch in South Africa and the cemeteries with Dutch that died in Asia. Whereas the Armenian monuments here have..nothing to do with the Netherlands. So there is a difference.
