EVENTS IN ARMENIA BETWEEN 1915 AND 1923

Early day motion 119, tabled 7 November 2007 by Andrew George (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 39 members.

That this House believes that the killing of over a million Armenians and over half a million Assyrians between 1915 and 1923 was an act of genocide; further believes that it is in the long-term interests of those countries involved to acknowledge this; and calls upon the Government to join others in formally recognising these events as constituting genocide.
