Armeniangenocide - epetition reply7 December 2007

 

We received a petition asking:

 

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Recognise the Armenian Genocide of 1915."

 

Details of Petition:

 

 

 

"More than a million Armenians were massacred by the government of Ottoman Empire (now Turkey) in the twentieth century's first genocide. We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister and Her Majesty's Government to recognise the Armenian Genocide of 1915 because denial is "killing them twice."

 

Read the Government's responseThe British Government acknowledges and regrets the terrible events that afflicted the Ottoman Armenian population at the beginning of the last century, when over a million ethnic Armenian citizens of the Ottoman Empire were killed. Many were massacred; some were victims of civil strife, starvation and disease, which ravaged the whole population of Eastern Anatolia during the First World War.

 

The massacres were an appalling tragedy, which the British Government of the day condemned. We fully endorse that view. However, neither this Government nor previous British Governments have judged that the evidence is sufficiently unequivocal to persuade us that these events should be categorised as genocide as defined by the 1948 UN Convention on Genocide, a convention which is, in any event, not retrospective in application.

 

The British Government believes that the focus should be on ensuring a progressive approach; to improve the chances for reconciliation between Armenian and Turkish people and to achieve a peaceful and secure future for everyone living in the region. To this end we encourage the Governments of Armenia and Turkey to improve co-operation, economic development and understanding between their countries.

 

In preparing for EU accession, Turkey must demonstrate its commitment to good neighbourly relations and must have undertaken to resolve outstanding border disputes. The advancement of accession negotiations will be guided by progress made in these, and other areas.
