Lithuania puts pressure on EU by calling Christian plight in Middle East genocide

Lithuania has become the first EU country to legally call the persecution of Christians in the Middle East by Isis and other Muslim organisations genocide.
The Baltic state’s parliament – the Seimas – passed a resolution by massive majority calling on the United Nations and the European Parliament to recognise the plight of Christians in the Middle East – and in particular in Syria, Iraq, Iran and north Africa – as an act of genocide and to act in accordance with the UN Human Rights Convention.
