UK House of Lords debating Armenian Genocide motion
STEPANAKERT, JUNE 17, ARTSAKHPRESS: The discussion was initiated by independent member of parliament, Baroness Carline Cox, who asked Her Majesty's Government to recognize that the 1915-1917 events constituted Genocide, the Official Site of the UK's Parliament informed.
Baroness Cox reminded that the Turkish government denies the fact of Genocide and spares no effort to prevent the international community from recognizing it. "Suppression of the truth proved that there was Genocide. The 1915 events will never be forgotten. An entire nation was annihilated. Refusal to recognize historical reality of any genocide can serve as an encouragement to other potential perpetrators, who will believe that they can get away with similar genocides with impunity," she said.
