HC Deb 08 July 1898 vol 61 c333
MR. H. ROBERTS

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information as to the reported outrages of Kurds upon the Armenians in the town of Van, and also as to Kurdish raids reported to have been made within the last few days on several other villages in the same locality; and whether any representations will be made to the Porte on the subject?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. G. N. CURZON,) Lancashire, Southport

Although we have received frequent communications from Her Majesty's Consul at Van, we have not heard anything as to recent Kurdish outrages on Armenians either in the town or in its vicinity.
