Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 January 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Holocaust Memorial Day.


Holocaust Memorial Day

My hon. Friend mentions the period between 1914 and the second world war. We commemorate the holocaust, of course, which relates only to the second world war. Does he agree that it is about time we also acknowledged the Armenian genocide committed at the hands of the Ottoman Turks in 1915, which is unfortunately often forgotten, although it was cited by Hitler as one of the sources of the genocide against the Jews in the holocaust?
