Caroline Cox urges British government to recognize Genocide
15:26 / 03/26/2010
Baroness Caroline Cox called on British Government to recognize Armenian Genocide, Asbarez reports. In her article on ePolitix.com, she noted that the question is timely due to three reasons.
First, approval of Genocide Resolution by Swedish Parliament, secondly the publication last October of “Was there an Armenian Genocide?” by Geoffrey Robertson. According to her, the third reason is that on the threshold of Genocide’s 95th anniversary recognition is “long overdue.”
She deems that recognition of Armenian Genocide will prevent genocides against other nations in the future, recalling "Hitler’s reference to the Armenian Genocide before he embarked on the extension of the Holocaust in Poland: “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”
Cox mentions that Turkish government’s active efforts directed towards rejection of Genocide recognition initiative might be tragic. She is confident that refusal to acknowledge the truth might prevent “genuine reconciliation between Armenia and Turkey.” And finally, “refusal to recognize historical reality of any genocide can serve as an encouragement to other potential perpetrators, who will believe that they can get away with similar genocides with impunity.”
