British Muslim Council against Oblivion of Armenian Genocide VictimsJanuary 26, 2006 - 18:32 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The British Muslim Council stated its unwillingness to take part in the national ceremony of commemoration of Holocaust victims, held in UK Thursday, January 26. According to a statement by its Spokesperson Inayat Bunglavala, the Council «unambiguously denounces both the Nazi attempt of genocide against Jews during World War II and anti-Semitism on the whole». Meantime, the leaders of the Council, which unites 350 Islamic communities of the country, expresses disagreement against «increased concentration of public attention to merely one historical incident, while the victims of the Genocide in Armenia, Bosnia, Rwanda and Sudan are forgotten, which is unjust.» In 2001, when the Day of Commemoration of Holocaust victims was marked in UK for the first time, the British Muslim Council suggested to change the official name of the day or establish a separate Commemoration Day of Genocide Victims. Last year the Council also ignored the celebration of the 60th anniversary of release of prisoners of Auschwitz concentration camp, reported CNS News web-site.
