    invite you to an

    ARMENIAN/ASSYRIAN GENOCIDE DAY CONFERENCE

    Sponsored and chaired by Andrew George M.P.

    in The Grand Committee Room of the House of Commons, London

    on Thursday, 24th April (Armenian Genocide Day) at 11 a.m. till 1.00
    p.m.


    The following questions will be addressed:

    Is Reconciliation possible after Genocide? Is denial of truth any
    basis for Reconciliation?

    Taking the Armenian, Assyrian, Greek and Kurdish examples: Does the UK
    government hinder the process of reconciliation by its one-sided
    pro-Turkish government stance?

    Will the planned state visit by HM the Queen to Turkey in May be a seal
    of approval on the Turkish government's distortion of the truth of the
    genocide, and the continuing cultural genocide in Turkey?

    Presentations:

    "The Psychological Effects of Genocide Denial" - By Ruth Barnett

    "The Comparative Aftermath of the Holocaust and the Armenian Genocide" -
    By Gregory Topalian

    "The Assyrian/Aramean Perspective" - By Sabri Atman, The Seyfo Centre,
