HC Deb 14 May 1896 vol 40 c1340
SIR J. KENNAWAY

I wish to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give any information as to the release of a number of Armenian prisoners who have for some time past been in prison at Aleppo, and concerning whom repeated representations have been made to the Ottoman Government by the Foreign Office?

MR. CURZON

Yes, Sir; we heard yesterday by telegraph that a number of Armenian prisoners—30, I think, in all—have been, largely, as we hope, owing to the representations of Her Majesty's Government through the Consul at Aleppo, released from the Aleppo gaol.
