Also, British lawyer Geoffrey Robertson’s book “An Inconvenient Genocide: Who Now Remembers the Armenians?” to be released Oct 1, 7 and 16 in Australia, Canada & the U.S. and Great Britain respectively will dean with the duplicity of Britain and other countries worldwide in non-recognition of the crime against humanity. The book draws on a variety of materials including those published by the British Foreign Ministry.

According to the head of The Armenian National Committee of UK, Sevan Artin, the book couldn’t but affect the British Foreign Ministry which hurried to release the materials, earlier provided to Robertson, in an attempt to justify itself. “We purchased 1000 copies of the book to raise the Genocide awareness in political, media and other circles. We’re also planning a book presentation in British Parliament,” Artin sad.
