[Presenter over video of British ambassador] The hullabaloo over the
remarks by the British ambassador to Armenia, Miss Thorda Abbot-Watt,
about the Armenian genocide is not dying out in the diaspora.
Armenians intend to stage demonstrations outside the British embassies
in many countries on 24 April, complaining because the British
ambassador said that the 1915 mass killings of Armenians in the
Ottoman Empire were not genocide. US newspaper California Courier has
written about this.
Our correspondent has reported that French Armenians will stage a
protest rally in Paris tomorrow outside the British embassy to condemn
Ambassador Abbot-Watt’s remarks.
