Safe Haven For Assyrian Christians Of Iraq (EDM883)

Safe Haven For Assyrian Christians Of Iraq

EDM number 883 in 2009-10, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 22/02/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Asia and Religious discrimination.

That this House recognises the 250,000 victims of the Assyrian Genocide of 1915; further recognises that promises of Assyrian statehood autonomy made during the First World War were not honoured; further recognises that the Assyrian people also suffered persecution in 1933 in Iraq; and calls on the Government to make representations to the Iraqi and Turkish governments with the aim of ensuring a safe haven for Assyrian Christians, or otherwise to consider the other option of resettlement whereby the UK and other EU member states would become part of the safe haven.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
