100 Members of UK Parliament recognized Armenian Genocide

PanARMENIAN.Net - A milestone on the road to Armenian Genocide recognition in the UK was passed on March 30, when Ed Davey became the 100th MP (Member of Parliament) in the House of Commons, London, to sign a Motion recognizing the Armenian Genocide. The motion is called "Early Day Motion 357" and was put by Bob Spink MP in December, independent French journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net



EDM 357 says, in part, " This House believes that the killing of over a million Armenians in 1915 was an act of genocide, calls upon the UK Government to recognize it as such and believes that it would be in Turkey's long-term interest to do the same."
