If you are going to respond to the following suggestion only made in the 

last day, send your letter to arrive before the above debate to encourage

your MP to attend and speak in support.

With this issue of news, it is now known that both Presidents 

Hollande of France and Putin of Russia will be in Armenia on 24 April 

to participate at the Armenian Genocide commemoration.

The May 1915 Tripartite Statement specifying the actions of

Ottoman Turkey as 'crimes against humanity' was also signed by 

Great Britain. It would be hugely symbolic if the UK was also 

represented in Yerevan. Such high-level attendance would clearly 

demonstrate that the United Kingdom believed that the declaration 

of that time which they repeatedly refer to is as valid today as it was 

then. 

Do write to the Prime Minster, or your MP making this points 

using if you wish some of the highlighted arguments in the European 

Parliament report.
