HC Deb 11 February 1895 vol 30 c462
MR. F. S. STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is the fact that newspaper correspondents are not allowed to visit the Sasun District; and, whether the prohibition applies only to that district and the rest of the vilayet of Bitlis, or whether it extends to other vilayets also: and, if so, to which?

THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. GREY)

The Turkish Government have decided not to allow newspaper correspondents to visit Asia Minor during the sittings of the Bitlis Commission of Inquiry.
