HC Deb 09 May 1889 vol 335 c1559
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the attention of the Government has been called to the reports in the papers of outrages in Armenia; and whether the Government will take any steps towards putting a stop to these horrible occurrences, in view of the fact that England is empowered, under the Anglo-Turkish Convention of 1878, to interfere in behalf of good government n Armenia?

*SIR J. FERGUSSON

I replied to a similar question on Tuesday. I can only repeat that Her Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople will not fail to represent at the Porte any occurrences of the kind which he may know to have taken place whenever by doing so he can hope to benefit the sufferers.
