In a unified call on April 22, British parliamentarians from all political parties — including both Houses of the UK Parliament, the House of Commons and the House of Lords — urged the UK Government to formally recognize the Armenian Genocide during a commemorative ceremony at the Cenotaph in London, marking the 110th anniversary of the 1915 Armenian Genocide.
The event opened with remarks from Andre Vartanian, representing the Armenian National Committee of the United Kingdom (ANC-UK). Jessica Morden MP, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Armenia, delivered a moving address, followed by speeches from Varuzhan Nersesyan, Ambassador of Armenia to the UK, and Garen Arevian, Chair of the Armenian Community Council of the UK.
Wreaths were laid at the Cenotaph in memory of the victims. After the ceremony, Andre Vartanian and Garen Arevian presented a letter to the Prime Minister, calling for formal recognition of the genocide.
The ANC-UK shared news of the event and the parliamentary appeal in a post on X, highlighting the broad, cross-party support behind the call.
