British Government Explicitly Denies The Armenian Genocide in Response to E-Petition
I see you have done a bit of censoring, Joseph
Probably right to have done so. If my language and tone is sometimes a little harsh (and sometimes more than a little) it is only because it is very annoying to see the same mistakes being made again and again and again.
Thanks for understanding. I changed a couple of your adjectives but the full extent of you idea persists.

But we can see the uncensored version in the quote box above Joseph's post!
Bell makes a good point. The British Government, much like the US will never change its position because they have nothing to gain (or until they have something to gain) by doing so, are stubborn and just plain do not care about the issue and would like to see it go away. In the case of Britain, they want Turkey in the EU if for no other reason than to speed up the dissolution of the organization so having the Armenian Genocide on the agenda hurts their interests (this is what is believed). If Armenia had oil, this might be different of course.
Armenians should continue with their activism, exposure of the truth, research, and building important alliances. To try and counter act the Turks through petitions will not work. The sheer numbers of Turks worldwide will make any action worthless. We have essentially won in the arena of truth but must continue collecting smaller victories that will eventually snowball into total recognition. Our collective strategies must be well-thought out and executed not rely on petty and isolated events such as the position noted above. It was a nice try by an Armenian activist but Armenians are sometimes their own worst enemies.
