BRITAIN - PROTESTS GREET GENOCIDE MEMORIAL
Morning Star, UK
November 5, 2007 Monday
Members of the Welsh Turkish community protested at the unveiling of
a plaque to the 1915 Armenian genocide in Cardiff on Saturday.
The genocide is a source of deep division between Turkish and Armenian
communities. Armenians say that 1.5 million died due to massacres
or starvation.
The Welsh Assembly's Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas said that the memorial
"reflects the vibrant Welsh interest in the history of Armenia."
But protester Levent Hassan said: "If such a genocide took place,
then let's prove it and let all concerned commemorate those horrible
events."
