YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 22, ARMENPRESS: Armenian ambassador to Great Britain
Vahe Gabrielian met on February 20 at the UK House of Commons with
representatives of both Houses and prominent members of the Armenian
community in the UK. The event was organized by Armenia Solidarity
group and supported by the London-based Nor Seroundi Dzain (New
Generation's Vice) Magazine.
The Armenian foreign ministry said the meeting was dedicated to two
motions submitted to the parliament suggesting debates on Turkish
blockade of Armenia and Armenian Genocide.
One of the motions, suggesting debates over the Armenian genocide
was submitted by Bob Spink from the Conservative Party. It has
been endorsed so far by 68 parliament members. The second motion on
Turkish blockade of Armenia was submitted by Nia Griffith from the
Labor party and supported by 66 MPs.
The Armenian ministry said the ambassador thanked British MPs for
their efforts urging debates on these two very important problems. He
spoke extensively on Armenia's approaches to these and other issues
and called on the MPs to use Britain's close ties with Turkey to
force it to open border with Armenia and establish relations with it.
