I parlamentari del Regno Unito chiedono al governo del Regno Unito di riconoscere il genocidio armeno

I wouldn’t expect much tbh there’s been similar calls/efforts on pretty much an annual basis but the UK government just blanks it all completely.

The current policy is pretty disgusting.

> The UK Government recognises the terrible suffering that was inflicted on Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire and acknowledges the strength of feeling regarding this terrible episode of history. **Our view remains, however, that it is not for governments to decide whether genocide has been committed as this is a complex legal question. Where an international legal body finds a crime to have been genocide, this will often play an important part in whether we will recognise one as such. Instead our position focuses on the need for the governments of Turkey and Armenia to adopt some form of truth and reconciliation process to help both countries move forward on this issue. We believe that this issue can only be resolved through a process owned by those directly involved.**

Scotland has recognised the genocide since 2013.

They haven’t yet? Wow. I didn’t know that.
