133 BRITISH PARLIAMENTARIANS SUPPORT ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION

133 British parliamentarians expressed their support on the Armenian Genocide resolution. This is three times the total for 2006, when 46 MPs signed the motion by Jeremy Corbyn. It is also more than double the previous highest total of 63, which was achieved in 2003. It is expected that many more will undersign the document after the June 27 major speech on a report entitled "Darfur and Armenia" in the House of Commons. The new Prime Minister Gordon Brown, himself a historian, will be challenged on "Genocide Denial and the UK Government’s Ethical Foreign Policy" at this event.
