'Our' memorial day as the horrific genocide that was inflicted on the
Armenian is a crime against humanity , and as brothers in humanity ",
wrote yesterday, April 23, Zulfi Buhkari, president of Muslim Public
Affairs Committee of the U.K., in response to a mail addressed by
Eilian Williams (Armenia Solidarity United Kingdom and British-Armenian
All-Party Parliamentary Group).
In this mail, Zulfi Buhkari continues: "MPACUK extend the hand of
condolence for your peoples' suffering. You deserve the recognition and
the support of everyone including the Turkish people who have to accept
that a crime was committed in their name against a vulnerable minority
whose only sin was to be born Armenian in (what is now) Turkey.
Quite correctly you have noticed that the British Government have
hedged and fudged their condemnation of the first Holocaust, and
prevaricated due to 'insufficient evidence' as a smoke screen not
to offend Turkey as a powerful member of Nato. However it is not in
Turkey's interest to deny its past, and neither is it in the interest
of justice to put the onus of proof on the victims. Historians are
prone to be political animals, however History has a compelling force
of making the truth known, warts and all.
Without ruining the tone of the email, MPACUK does not accept that
this was a Muslim crime, or a crime done in the name of Islam. It
was done by evil, sadistic human beings who unfortunately transcend
religion, race, sexuality and even humanity. "
