Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Flather (Crossbench). It was answered by Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative) on Thursday, 16 June 2011.
Armenia: Genocide
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their timetable for recognising the Armenian genocide.
- Answer
-
My Lords, there is no doubt that the treatment of the Armenians was horrific and caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands by force of arms, starvation or disease. They should not be forgotten, but we believe that it is for the Turkish and Armenian people to work together to address their common history. We encourage any process which helps them do so in an open, honest and constructive manner, but it would not be helpful for us to pre-empt their conclusions.
