	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2016 answer text It is the policy of the UK 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 continue to remember and honour the victims of the past, we believe the UK’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. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 12/07/2016 16:18:33 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
