    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," said Eilian Williams.

    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, free-lance correspondent Jean
    Eckian informs.
