TO RECOGNIZE IN THREE MINUTES
`Don’t ask me why by now Great Britain hasn’t joint the world’s 20
countries that have recognized Armenian Genocide. Had the issue
depended on me I would recognize it in three minutes.’ MP of the
United Kingdom Parliament Steffen Pound, who has visited Armenia by
the initiation of ARF Commission on Armenian Cause in England, said
during the press conference yesterday.
Steffen Pound is himself interested in why Great Britain doesn’t
want to recognize Armenian Genocide. The British MP has asked this
question to the British Foreign Ministers, who answered that at that
time the word `genocide’ didn’t exist. `This seems to be more like a
juridical commentary and the moral side is overlooked,’ he said. By
the way Great Britain has recognized Holocaust and all the other
genocides following it.
The British parliamentarian is surprised at the fact that his
leadership can ask for forgiveness for the slavery of the Irish
people in the 19th century and meanwhile hesitates to manifest
determination towards Turkey and recognize the genocide conducted by
them. `To refute Genocide, means to commit another crime,’ S. Pound
states.
