HC Deb 29 May 1919 vol 116 c1385
4. Captain ORMSBY - GORE

asked whether the whereabouts of Enver Pasha, late Minister of War in Turkey, are now known; and whether steps are being taken to secure his apprehension, with a view to his being tried for the massacre of Armenians, the torture of Arabs, the killing of British and Indian prisoners of war, and the many other infamies for which he was responsible during the War?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

Enver Pasha's present whereabouts are not known, but His Majesty's Government are, for their part, resolved to bring him to account. I understand that provision to this effect will be made in the peace settlement with Turkey.

Captain ORMSBY-GORE

Did the hon. Member see a paragraph in the "Times" two or three days ago saying that he had turned up in the Caucasus?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

No, Sir; my attention has not been directed to it.

Commander BELLAIRS

Will the hon. Gentleman take care to correct the description of Enver Pasha by the Secretary of State for War as the Garibaldi of the Turkish Revolution?
