Recognition Of The Armenian Genocide (EDM2872)

Recognition Of The Armenian Genocide

EDM number 2872 in 2005-06, proposed by Bob Spink on 30/10/2006.

That this House believes that the killing of over a million Armenians in 1915 was an act of genocide; calls upon the UK Government to recognise it as such; believes that it would be in Turkey's long-term interests to do the same; and notes the great contribution made to Britain by the 20,000 strong British Armenian community.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
