British PM disappoints Turkish delegate

YEREVAN, JANUARY 26, ARMENPRESS: Prime Minister of Great Britain David Cameron refused to comment on the adoption of the bill penalizing the denial of the Armenian Genocide by the Senate of France. Naira Zohrabyan, member of Armenia's delegation to PACE, told Armenpress from Strasburg that the British PM was asked to comment on it by a Turkish delegate. "But he received quite an unexpected answer for him. The Turkish delegate was expected that Cameron would describe it as unacceptable but the answer was not so," Zohrabyan said.

Cameron also refused to assess the decision of the France's Senate, but stressed that it is clear for all what happened with Armenians in 1915. British PM noted that it was a great tragedy and must not be left in silence. "Though he said afterwards that Turkey is important partner for them, and he thinks it must become member of the EU," Zohrabyan said.
