HC Deb 07 July 1920 vol 131 cc1444-5
50. Mr. AUBREY HERBERT

asked the Prime Minister whether the Supreme Council has taken any steps to safeguard the lives of Christian minorities in Asia Minor that have been endangered by the Greek advance into Anatolia?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The Greek advance is merely part of Allied operations to resist the aggression of the rebel Nationalists directed against the execu- tion of the Peace terms. The suggestion that the Turks were, under the circumstances, likely to commit atrocities has not so far been borne out by events.
