Closed UK government to recognise the Armenian Genocide

Closed on

This petition is calling on the UK government to recognise the Armenian Genocide. This currently has partial recognise in the UK (NI, Scotland, Wales & Derby recognising it) but this should be extended to the entire of the UK.

The Armenian Genocide, despite leading to the deaths of approx 1.5million people and displacement of millions more, is still not formally recognised by the UK government. This is despite recognition from historians, academic institutions on the Holocaust and genocide studies. Whilst the government do not deny its factuality, it should formally recognise the events that occurred in the early 20th century.
