YEREVAN, JANUARY 26, ARMENPRESS: Prime Minister of Great Britain David
Cameron refused to comment on the adoption of the bill penalizing
the denial of the Armenian Genocide by the Senate of France. Naira
Zohrabyan, member of Armenia's delegation to PACE, told Armenpress
from Strasburg that the British PM was asked to comment on it by a
Turkish delegate. "But he received quite an unexpected answer for him.
The Turkish delegate was expected that Cameron would describe it as
unacceptable but the answer was not so," Zohrabyan said.
Cameron also refused to assess the decision of the France's Senate,
but stressed that it is clear for all what happened with Armenians
in 1915. British PM noted that it was a great tragedy and must not be
left in silence. "Though he said afterwards that Turkey is important
partner for them, and he thinks it must become member of the EU,"
Zohrabyan said.
