/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 114 British parliamentarians are for recognizing
the Armenian Genocide by the United Kingdom, Co-Founder and honorary
Secretary of the British Armenian Group Odette Bazil stated to a news
conference in Yerevan on Tuesday. She said, in order to include the
resolution in the agenda one third of signatures of the 665-member
parliament are necessary.
"For this purpose the British Armenian Group cooperates with other
organizations, which protects rights of victims of other genocides,"
she said adding that it is difficult to deal with pro-Armenian lobby
in the United Kingdom, since very influential Turkish and Azeri lobby
organizations work there.
O. Bazil also said that from the moment of establishing the group the
organization has rather enlarged and reached certain success. "When
the group was established only 6 parliamentarians were included in it,
and now their number has reached 106. This is the largest lobby group
in the British Parliament," she noticed.
O. Bazil informed the British Armenian Group also cooperates with
extraparliamentary organizations of the Armenian community in Great
Britain, particularly with "Armenian Solidarity" and "Nor Serund"
(New Generation), "Novosti Armenia" reports.
