HC Deb 19 February 1883 vol 276 cc298-9
MR. BAXTER

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If it is true that the Sixty-first Article of the Treaty of Berlin still remains a dead letter; and, if any steps have been recently taken by Her Majesty's Government, with a view to giving effect to the promised reforms in Armenia?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Lord Dufferin has made repeated communications to the Porte on this subject. As lately as December last, Mr. Wyndham, Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires, pointed out the danger of not instituting the reforms which Her Majesty's Go- vernment had so continually and strongly pressed the Turkish Government to carry out.
