The Armenian Genocide was the centrally planned and systematically executed deportation and murder of over 2 million Christian Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians, perpetrated by the Ottoman Turkish Government from 1915-1923.  Despite overwhelming documentation by historians and condemnation by over 30 countries worldwide, Turkey continues to enforce a gag-rule against truthful UK reaffirmation of this crime.

ANC-UK Ask:  The UK should formally recognize the Armenian Genocide and Parliament should enact legislation calling for a truthful and just resolution of this still unpunished crime.
