 Cardiff, Wales -- On Saturday 3rd November 2007, Seyfo Center UK took part in the consecration of a monument in the Temple of Peace in Cardiff, Wales commemorating the victims of the genocide of 1915. This historical step came as a result of the UK team of Seyfo Centre's long strive to foster fraternal relations with the Armenian community, and it crystallised at Mr. Sabri Atman's lecture on the Assyrian genocide on 21st October in London, UK, where Seyfo Center was officially invited by the Armenian coalition, who were present at the lecture, to join them in this momentous occasion. Seyfo Center UK welcomed the invitation and both parties pledged to work together on the recognition of the 1915 genocide.
The event ended with the Armenian bishop's closing words of thanks who said, "we must work together to have the Armenian, Assyrian and Pontiac Greek's genocide recognised". And he closed the! event w ith a final prayer in the Armenian language.
