answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>​It is the policy of the British Government that recognition of genocide is a matter for judicial decision, rather than for governments or non-judicial bodies. While the terrible suffering cannot be forgotten and we must remember and honour the victims of the past, we continue to believe the United Kingdom's priority today should be to promote reconciliation between the peoples and Governments of Turkey and Armenia and to find a way for these two countries to face their joint history together.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 03/09/2019 11:56:05 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
