RECOGNITION OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

Early day motion 2872, tabled 30 October 2006 by Bob Spink (Conservative). Signed by 22 members.

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.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Liberal Democrat 5, Conservative 3, DUP 1, Scottish National Party 1.
