Furthermore, I want the UK government to condemn the continued denial of the Armenian Genocide from the governments of Türkiye and Azerbaijan. Finally, I believe it should be of utmost priority to educate people further on the Armenian Genocide as not enough people understand the horrors of the event. As a result, I believe this event should be taught in schools.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2026-07-30T23:58:53.233Z","updated_at":"2026-08-24T16:44:42.143Z","rejected_at":"2026-08-24T16:44:42.146Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-07-31T07:39:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/768244"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
