British Armenian Group is the largest lobby organization in British Parliament

PanARMENIAN.Net - 114 British parliamentarians are for recognizing the Armenian Genocide by the United Kingdom, Co-Founder and honorary Secretary of the British Armenian Group Odette Bazil stated to a news conference in Yerevan on Tuesday. She said, in order to include the resolution in the agenda one third of signatures of the 665-member parliament are necessary.



"For this purpose the British Armenian Group cooperates with other organizations, which protects rights of victims of other genocides," she said adding that it is difficult to deal with pro-Armenian lobby in the United Kingdom, since very influential Turkish and Azeri lobby organizations work there.



O. Bazil also said that from the moment of establishing the group the organization has rather enlarged and reached certain success. "When the group was established only 6 parliamentarians were included in it, and now their number has reached 106. This is the largest lobby group in the British Parliament," she noticed.



O. Bazil informed the British Armenian Group also cooperates with extraparliamentary organizations of the Armenian community in Great Britain, particularly with "Armenian Solidarity" and "Nor Serund" (New Generation), "Novosti Armenia" reports.
