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"
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.
