    BILL IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT REGARDING THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE.

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ John Torosian, the leader of the Armenian community
    of Cardiff, said the measure on the Armenian Genocide Remembrance
    Day was brought to the British parliament at the wrong time.

    "This Bill could not have come at a worse time as an election is due
    to be called very soon and there will not be enough time to pass
    this Bill. Once Parliament is suspended and an election is called
    that will be the end. Worse than that even if one MP shouts "object"
    the bill will fail without it going to a debate. This is the weakness
    of the system," he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

    "There is no domestic way of bringing the recognition vote to the
    commons unless the Liberal Democrats are voted in to Parliament as
    part of a coalition government. Unfortunately even in the unlikely
    event that the Liberal democrats come in to power we should be aware
    that their position on the Armenian genocide will go the same way
    as Obama. On a purely objective view the chances that an election
    will not be called in the next few weeks is ZERO. If the Bill gets
    to Parliament the chances that a Turkophile MP will not shout object
    is ZERO," he said, adding that the other weakness of the Parliament
    is that there are quite a few key political figures who are Jewish
    and they have no desire to "Upstage" the holocaust.

    "We are the subject of political ping pong once again. The previous
    bill and the new bill which is very similar is bellow for your
    information," he concluded.
