A quick update on this and this: Parliament has now 'unanimously recognised the Kurdish genocide in Iraq'. In thanking those involved Nechirvan Barzani, prime minister of Kurdistan, said:
The British parliament's recognition of the genocide follows similar acknowledgements by the Norwegian and Swedish parliaments last year. We thank them all and hope that this will inspire our friends and friends of human rights and freedom in other countries to do the same. We must all stand together against tyranny, wherever it may appear.
