The majority of UK Members of Parliament from Scotland and Northern
Ireland have recognised the Genocide.

These develpments , which will increase the moral pressure on Prime
Minister Gordon Brown, took place this week after lobbying from
Armenia Solidarity,a Welsh-based organisation supported , by Nor
Serount Cultural Association.

"Dr Bob Spink kindly acceeded to our request in December for a motion
in the UK parliament on the Holocaust, which included this part::
"This House….condemns unreservedly denial and denigration of the
memory of the Holocaust, as well as of the 1915 Genocide of Armenians
and Assyrians in Turkey, and the politics of hatred and division
which led to these events," said Eilian Williams.

Of the 59 Scottish MPs in the UK parliament, 37 have recognised the
genocide, 13 have not, and the remaining 8 are not allowed ro sign,
being part of the Labour Government.

Of the 18 elected Northern Irish MPs , the 6 Sinn Fein Members do not
take their seats. Of the remaining twelve, eleven of them have signed

These follow the example of MPs from Wales, the majority of which have
recognised the Genocide in 2006 and 2007. We are close to persuading
the majority of all eligible MPs in the UK parliament to sign. UK
Armenians are encouraged to write to their MPs asking them to the
current Early Day Motion, number 287, free-lance correspondent Jean
Eckian informs.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
