HC Deb 24 February 1921 vol 138 cc1168-9W
Mr. SPOOR

asked the Prime Minister whether, as reported in the foreign Press, the Armenian general Sebouh is on his way to Paris to urge that the Allies rescue Armenia from the Bolsheviks and Kemalists; if so, whether this general is proceeding to Paris by invitation; if so, who invited him; whether he is appreciative of the danger of making use of military force along the buffer front of Eastern Europe; and whether he will give this matter very careful consideration?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

General Sabouh applied to the British passport authorities at Paris for a visa for the United Kingdom, which has been granted. Nothing is known of any invitation or of the purpose of his journey. His Majesty's Government are fully aware of the danger referred to in the penultimate part of the question.
