The Armenian Genocide was a crime against humanity, Baroness Shreela
Flather, a member the British Armenian All Party Parliamentary Group,
told today a news conference at Armenia's National Assembly.
She said very little people in Britain are aware of what happened in
the Ottoman Empire in the period of World War I and added that the
history of the Armenian Genocide had really shocked her.
Lindon Harrison, another member of the parliamentary group, stressed
the importance of promoting a proper understanding of the issue in
his country.
Head of the delegation and Deputy Speaker of the British House
of Lords, Baroness Caroline Cox spoke of Turkey's denial policy,
criticizing the country's leadership of avoiding the truth.
In the framework of its three-day visit to Armenia, the delegation of
the British parliamentarians, led by Baroness Cox, has visited the
Armenian Genocide Institute-Museum and paid respect to the Genocide
victims at the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial.
