Bob Spink MP calls for an independent inquiry into the Armenian Genocide

Following publication of Geoffrey Robertson QC's legal opinion on the Armenian Genocide, Bob Spink MP introduced EDM 247 calling for an independent inquiry into the Armenian Genocide:

"That this House supports Turkey's application for membership of the EU; but is concerned about the welfare of thousands of Crypto-Armenians in Turkey; notes the substance of Geoffrey Robertson QC's legal opinion on the Armenian Genocide; calls for an independent inquiry into the revelations of that opinion; and urges the Government to acknowledge that the events which befell the Armenians and Assyrians of Turkey of 1915 amounted to genocide."
