MEETING AT HOUSE OF COMMONS DEDICATED TO ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

June 27, at the House of Commons of the UK Parliament was held a
meeting entitled "The Denial of the Armenian Genocide and the Moral
Foreign Policy of the United Kingdom", which was organized by
British-Armenian multipartial parliamentary group and "Armenia
Solidarity", "The Armenian Genocide Trust" and "Aegis Trust" NGOs.

As the Press and Information Department of the Armenian Foreign
Ministry informs, on the meeting MP David Drew, Armenian Ambassador to
UK Vahe Gabrielian and "Aegis Trust" director executive James Smith
made a report on the events in Darfur and the Armenian Genocide, and
Ruth Barnet, head of the Jewish "Raphael" consulting service, made a
report on the consequences of genocide denial.

Ambassador Vahe Gabrielian emphasized the importance of holding such
meetings and jointly striving against denial of genocide. He expressed
opinion that Armenian organizations must take part in illustrating the
situation in Darfur and international efforts of preventing genocides.
