answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2023 answer text <p>The events of 1915-1916 were a tragic episode in the history of the Armenian people and must never be forgotten. The UK Government condemned the massacres at the time and our position has not changed. Any judgement as to whether genocide has occurred is a matter for a competent national or international court, rather than for governments or non-judicial bodies. We will, as ever, encourage the governments of Armenia and Turkey to look to the future and build stronger relations between their countries.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 13/11/2023 15:52:08 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
