The UK’s stance on the events in the Ottoman Empire early in the 20th century remains unchanged, UK Ambassador to Armenia Charles Lonsdale told a press conference in Yerevan.

The UK regrets the tragedy suffered by the Armenian people and the crime committed against them. At that time the UK government fairly condemned the events in the Ottoman Empire, the Ambassador stated.

Speaking of the UK’s possible recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Lonsdale noted that the issue should be addressed to the British MPs.
