February 20 in the UK House of Commons the RA Ambassador to Great
Britain Vahe Gabrielyan met with members of both chambers of Parliament
and representatives of the British Armenian community.
RA MFA Press and Information Department informs that the meeting was
dedicated to two proposals to hold discussions on the blockade of
Armenia by Turkey and the Armenian Genocide in the British Parliament.
The suggestion to hold a discussion on the Armenian Genocide was
submitted by Conservative MP Bob Spink. Up to now the suggestion has
been supported by 68 Deputies. The proposal denouncing the blockade of
Armenia has been submitted by Laborite Nia Griffit. 66 MPs supported
the initiative.
In his speech Vahe Gabrielyan thanked members of the British Parliament
for their activity in the direction of recognition of the Armenian
Genocide and lifting of the blockade. The Ambassador thoroughly
presented Armenia's stances on the normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations, urging on British MPs to make best use of their ties with
Turkey to help open the border and establish relations.
