    The Majority of UK Members of Parliament from Scotland and Northern
    Ireland have recognised the Genocide

    These develpments , which will increase the moral pressure on Prime
    Minister Gordon Brown, took place this week after lobbying from Armenia
    Solidarity,a Welsh-based organisation supported , by Nor Serount
    Cultural Association. Dr Bob Spink kindly acceeded to our request in
    December for a motion in the UK parliament on the Holocaust, which
    included this part:: "This House....condemns unreservedly denial and
    denigration of the memory of the Holocaust, as well as of the 1915
    Genocide of Armenians and Assyrians in Turkey, and the politics of
    hatred and division which led to these events"
    Of the 59 Scottish MPs in the UK parliament, 37 have recognised the
    genocide, 13 have not, and the remaining 8 are not allowed ro sign,
    being part of the Labour Government.

    Of the 18 elected Northern Irish MPs , the 6 Sinn Fein Members do not
    take their seats. Of the remaining twelve, eleven of them have signed

    These follow the example of MPs from Wales, the majority of which have
    recognised the Genocide in 2006 and 2007. We are close to persuading the
    majority of all eligible MPs in the UK parliament to sign. UK Armenians
    are encouraged to write to their MPs asking them to the current Early
    Day Motion, number 287.
