UK GOVERNMENT DE FACTO ACKNOWLEDGES ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 7. ARMINFO. For the first time the UK government
has de facto acknowledged the Armenian Genocide.
According to the official site of the UK Government, political
leaders in Wales and religious representatives will mark Holocaust
Memorial Day in an event also reflecting on the 90th anniversary of
the Armenian genocide
This is for the first time ever, an UK government web-site has referred
to the “Armenian Genocide” and “Armenian Holocaust”
Meanwhile UK Ambassador to Armenia Thorda Abbot-Watt told ARMINFO
that she knows that in Armenia there are many archive records of
the events of 1915-1917. She said that the UK has not changed its
position on the issue. She preferred not to touch on this delicate
and painful subject for the Armenian nation.
