NORWAY'S COUNCIL OF KRAGERO
RECOGNISES GENOCIDE
MAYOR AND DELEGATION MAKE HISTORIC DECLARATION IN LONDON |
|
|
|
On Sunday 3rd December 2006, a deputation comprising three officals from Kragero, Norway, including Mayor Laland and Deputy Mayor
Jensen made the historic declaration ratified unanimously by all members of their City's Council - across all parties - stating that "the atrocoities the Armenian people were subjected to must be
considered as Genocide".
The function had been organised by the ACCC's 'CRAG' Committee (Campaign for Recognition of the Armenian Genocide) and the deputation had travelled to London specifically so
as to make their Council's Declaration for the first time in the world from one of the leading Capital Cities of the European Union.
The Norwegian city of Kragerø has erected a statue honouring Bodil
Catharina Biørn, who spent 30 years of her life providing relief to the Armenians of Turkey before, during and after the Armenian Genocide and who had witnessed the Genocide personally including the killing
of almost all of the children in a Children's Home in Mush inTurkey. The statue was unveiled on Saturday, May 29 2005.
The meeting was opened by Mr Charles Malas of CRAG, followed by words of
welcome by the Chairman of the British Armenian Community Council, Mr Ara Palamoudian. Mayor Laland and Deputy Mayor Jensen then made a presentation of their City, made the official declaration and
presented a copy to CRAG. |
