BRITISH DISCUSSIONS ABOUT GENOCIDE

By Hovik Afyan

"Azg" daily has informed on February 16 that the majority of the UK
Parliament’s House of Commons had signed motions (called Early Day
Motions) recognizing the 1915 Genocide of Armenians and Assyrians.

On April 30, the House of Commons will again debate the Armenian
Genocide Remembrance Day bill; presented by Andrew Dismore, a
representative of the leading Labor party in England. Not only
government and opposition representatives, but also other MPs of the
House of Commons will participate in the discussions.

To acquire strength of law, the bill should be also approved by the
House of Lords and meet with the Queen’s approval.
