EDINBURGH CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER RECOGNITION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
YEREVAN (YEREVAN) - Donald Anderson, Edinburgh City Council chairman has said he is sure the "1915 events are a genocide," and that the issue to recognize the Armenian Genocide would be discussed by the city council in October, Armenpress reported.
The move has sparked the outrage of the Scottish capita's Turkish community which has sent a letter to Anderson.
Another letter was sent by Turkish ambassador to the United Kingdom. In his response, Anderson has said he had studied the issue and has no doubts that the Armenians were subjected to genocide by the Ottoman Empire.
A Wells city recognized the Armenian Genocide last year, according to Ara Sarafian, director of the Komitas Institute's London branch. Following that recognition, the Turkish Parliament requested that the British Parliament cancelled the so-called "Blue Book," a book published by British statesman Viscount Bryce in 1916 and containing accounts and facts on the Genocide.
