PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF SCOTLAND RECOGNIZES ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
2
LONDON, MAY 27, ARMENIANS TODAY – NOYAN TAPAN.
A major step forward in the recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the
UK took place this week when the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church of Scotland passed a motion calling on the UK government to
recognize the Genocide. The Church follows the example of the
Presbyterian Church of Wales, which called on the UK government to
recognize the Genocide in 2006. This is the result of an intense work
by lobbyists Ara Krikorian, Edgar Danielyan and Eilian Williams. whose
activity was instrumental in persuading the Church to take to this
decision. Prime Minister Gordon Brown belongs to the Presbyterian
Church and will find it hard to resist this declaration by his Church.
