YEREVAN. – British PM David Cameron has received an invitation to
visit Yerevan on the centennial of the Armenian Genocide on April 24,
UK Ambassador to Armenia Katherine Leach told reporters on Friday.

“He replied to say that he understood the huge importance of the
centenary year for Armenia and Armenians all over the world, and he
regretted he wasn’t able to be here in person,” the diplomat said.

However, the Church of England is sending representatives, Ambassador
Leach said, adding that she would be able to confirm the details a
little bit later.

Asked whether Cameron will visit Turkey for the events marking the
100th anniversary of the Gallipoli Battle, the diplomat said she
had no information about it, but there will be certainly high level
British involvement, because many soldiers died in Gallipoli.

Ambassador Leach was also asked to comment on the rumors in Turkish
media, according to which Prince Charles will be among the guests. The
Ambassador she had no information confirmed, but she had seen the
rumors in Turkish media.

“If I am invited, and I very much hope that I will be, I will of
course visit Tsitsernakaberd,” she added.
