ArmInfo, Armenia
Sept 25 2007
ArmInfo. The process of the Armenian Genocide recognition in Great
Britain is going forward, though very slowly, Head of the Anglican
Church, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams told ArmInfo. He
recalled that the independent Welsh Assembly has already recognized
the Armenian Genocide. "That time, I was working in Wales and I was
able to take part there. I was one of the first officials along with
the first minister of Wales who recognized the Genocide. My hope and
trust is, as time goes on, looking at the issue will be possible
in the United Kingdom. It will not be a matter of looking back,
but laying the foundation for establishment of firmer relations.
Moreover, it is also important as part of our whole resistance to
genocide everywhere to know",- R. Williams said.
To recall, Head of the Anglican Church is in Armenia with reciprocal
visit, by invitation of Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II.
