Armenians living in Wales are reportedly preparing to erect a monument to the so-called Armenian genocide in front of the Temple of Peace building in Cardiff. Brochures which have been passed out by Armenian groups in Cardiff call on MPs from the British House of Commons to sign a proposed bill in support of Armenian claims.
The new monument backed by the Armenian diaspora in Wales is set to officially open on November 3. In the meantime, the Turks in Britain Federation has begun its own campaign in opposition to the Cardiff monument. Said Federation president Servet Hasan: "We have started up this protest campaign to prevent the opening of this monument, which is just one piece of the campaign by Armenians in the diaspora....to stain the name of Turkey."
