Service to mark genocide

Cardiff council has been urged to formally recognise the Armenian
genocide of 1915 with a vote.

South Wales’ small Armenian community gathered at the Temple of Peace
in Cathays Park yesterday for a service to remember the killing of
1.5 million people in eastern Turkey during World War I. Around 50
people with links to the region live in South Wales.

Riverside councillor Gwenllian Lansdown told them: ‘I also think that
it would be fitting for Cardiff council to formally recognise the
Armenian genocide, as other councils have done.’
