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.
