British Justice Minister Jack Straw promised to Turkey that his country
will not adopt a resolution on the so-called "Armenian genocide".
According to the Vatan newspaper, he gave such a promise at the
reception in honor of Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan in London.
"The resolution on recognition of the so-called ‘Armenian genocide’
will not be adopted by our parliament. Such a bill is supported only
by one of the deputies of the House of Commons, therefore, there are
no grounds to adopt it", he said.
"This resolution is not supported either by the government or the
opposition of Great Britain. I can guarantee it to you. The possibility
of adopting this bill is almost zero", Straw said.
