THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF SCOTLAND CALLS ON UK TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

A major step forward toward recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the UK was taken this week when the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland passed a motion calling on the UK on the government to recognize the Genocide. The Church followed the example of the Presbyterian Church of Wales which called on the UK government to recognize the Genocide in 2006, independent French journalist told PanARMENIAN.Net. This is the result of an intense work by lobbyists Ara Krikorian, Edgar Danielyan and Eilian Williams were instrumental in persuading the Church to like to this decision. PM Gordon Brown, who belongs to the Presbyterian Church will attempt to resist this pronouncement by his Church, said Armenia Solidarity, British Armenian All Party Parliamentary Group, Nor Serount Armenian Genocide Trust.
