Sensational change of heart by a former British minister!- over 200 MPs now recognise the Armenian Genocide Armenian and Assyrian organisations in Britain met in the House of Commons on 24th October 2007, in the wake of the visit by the Turkish Prime Minister and the sensational change of heart by Kieth Vaz MP. It
was he, as Minister for Europe in 2000 who formulated the pro-Turkish policy of Armenian Genocide denial which his successors in the Labour admibnstration have slavishly followed.

Two days ago, after several repeated requests, he signed the Early Day Motion recognising the Armenian Genocide, making it the second most succesful EDM on an international issue in Parliament. Now 185 have signed, four times last year's total. The total number of MPs who have recognised the Genocide now stands at over 200, including those who did so in previous years

This surely emboldened the Prime Minister as it ocurred the day before as he met Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan..Last week Jim Murphy, the new minister for Europe, promised us that he will
look afressh at the whole issue.

The meeting noted that the visit and Mr Erdoghan's itinerary were practically kept a secret to the last minute. Numerous enquiries made to the House of Commons, The Foreign Office and Turkish Embassy in
order to find out any information about the visit had proved unsuccessful because they had all claimed no knowledge of the visit This proves the reality of his presence in this country as the Prime Minister of a multi genocidal state and undemocratic .

Is it any wonder that Turkey is confident of a free reign to do as they wish in Iraqi Kurdistan considering that they have got away with the Genocide of the Armenians and Assyrians and its subsequent denial with the full compliance and collusion of the UK government?

Further Armenian-Assyrian -Kurdish co-operation was envisaged, as well as a new EDM on the Armenian and Assyrian Genocide.Full Assyrian participation in the unveiling in Cardidff, on saturday, 3rd november of the Monument to the Genocide of 1915 was assured

A Press Statement sent by the Kurdish Advisory Panel of
Parliamentarians for National Self-Determination (PNSD), which emphasised a negotiated settlement of the Kurdish issue as the "only lasting solution", was read at the meeting.
