HC Deb 20 November 1919 vol 121 c1133
78. Lord R. CECIL

asked the Prime Minister what is the present position of the Armenians; and what steps, if any, the Government have found it possible to take to save the remnants of this allied nation from final extinction?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The representatives of His Majesty's Government in the Caucasus have been endeavouring, not without success, to promote a friendly understanding and arrangements between the Armenians and the Governments of the neighbouring States, and the situation has, in consequence, been less anxious.

Lord R. CECIL

May I ask whether that applies to what is called Russian Armenia; and what steps are being taken in respect of Turkish Armenia, which is much more serious?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I must ask the Noble Lord to give notice of that question, because I have given the reply handed to me by the Foreign Office, and I cannot add anything.

Mr. A. WILLIAMS

Would the Prime Minister be willing to receive an influential deputation dealing with this very important matter?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will consider that.
