Number of UK Members of Parliament recognising the genocide rises
three-fold
Another milestone was passed on the road to UK Recognition today
when the 132nd Member of Parliament signed "Early Day Motion" 357
recognising the Armenian Genocide. This is three times the total for
2006, (when 46 MPs signed the motion by Jeremy Corbyn). It is also more
than double the previous highest total of 63, which was acheived in
2003.
It is expected that many more will sign around the 27th june when a
major speech on "Darfur and Armenia" will be delivered by James Smith,
Chief Executive of the Aegis Trust, in Committee Room 10, of the House
of Commons at at 5 p.m. on that day. The new Prime Minister Rt Hon.
Gordon Brown, himself a historian, will be challenged on "Genocide
Denial and the UK government's Ethical Foreign Policy" at this event.
Parliament will also be lobbied on the 20th of june
Armenians who wish to help with the lobbying are invited to contact us
urgently as parliament will break-up for the summer in five weeks time.
