ARMENIAN MONUMENT SET TO OPEN IN CARDIFF; TURKS LIVING IN BRITAIN PROTEST
Hurriyet, Turkey
Oct 9 2007
Armenians living in Wales are reportedly preparing to erect a monument
to the so-called Armenian genocide in front of the Temple of Peace
building in Cardiff. Brochures which have been passed out by Armenian
groups in Cardiff call on MPs from the British House of Commons to
sign a proposed bill in support of Armenian claims.
The new monument backed by the Armenian diaspora in Wales is set to
officially open on November 3. In the meantime, the Turks in Britain
Federation has begun its own campaign in opposition to the Cardiff
monument. Said Federation president Servet Hasan: "We have started up
this protest campaign to prevent the opening of this monument, which
is just one piece of the campaign by Armenians in the diaspora....to
stain the name of Turkey."
