Armenian Genocide was a crime against humanity – British MPs

The Armenian Genocide was a crime against humanity, Baroness Shreela Flather, a member the British Armenian All Party Parliamentary Group, told today a news conference at Armenia’s National Assembly.

She said very little people in Britain are aware of what happened in the Ottoman Empire in the period of World War I and added that the history of the Armenian Genocide had really shocked her.

Lindon Harrison, another member of the parliamentary group, stressed the importance of promoting a proper understanding of the issue in his country.

Head of the delegation and Deputy Speaker of the British House of Lords, Baroness Caroline Cox spoke of Turkey’s denial policy, criticizing the country’s leadership of avoiding the truth.
