/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A major step forward toward
recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the UK was
taken this week when the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church of Scotland passed a motion
calling on the UK on the government to recognize the
Genocide.

The Church followed the example of the Presbyterian
Church of Wales which called on the UK government to
recognize the Genocide in 2006, independent French
journalist told PanARMENIAN.Net.

This is the result of an intense work by lobbyists Ara
Krikorian, Edgar Danielyan and Eilian Williams were
instrumental in persuading the Church to like to this
decision.

PM Gordon Brown, who belongs to the Presbyterian
Church will attempt to resist this pronouncement by
his Church, said Armenia Solidarity, British Armenian
All Party Parliamentary Group, Nor Serount Armenian
Genocide Trust.
