On January 27th Britian is going to mark it's first Holocaust Memorial
Day to remember those who died in the Jewish Holocaust and the Rwandan
and Kosovan Genocides.

However the Foreign Office has told the Home Office, who are actually
planning the days events, not to make any mention of the Armenian Genocide
of 1915, in which nearly 2 million Armenians were massacred
by the Ottoman Turkish government.

Their reason for this is that they have innocently decided to start with
the Jewish Holocaust and not make any mention of any genocides prior to it.
Which is odd because there is only one other genocide in the modern age
that this could possibly exclude - the Armenian's.

It is clear from conversations with the Home Office that it is
the Turkish government which has demanded that this appalling part of their
history is forgotten about.
