In the course of his meeting with Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan British Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice Jack Straw said that if the Armenian Genocide resolution reaches the House of Commons, he will not allow its adoption.

In connection with this statement British-Armenian parliamentary group wonders whether the minister serves the justice and who leads the British Parliament – Straw or the parliamentary majority?

According to the group, these words offend both democracy in society and Parliament just as the human rights, reads the statement by British-Armenian parliamentary group.

Within last months Armenian Genocide resolution was approved by Catalonian and Swedish Parliaments as well as U.S House Committee for Foreign Affairs.
