HC Deb 08 May 1922 vol 153 c1832W
Sir J. D. REES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has information that, following upon the evacuation by the Italians of the Meander Valley, the Greeks burned villages between Adalia and Egadir, seized certain Turks who returned under a safe conduct from the Allied Powers, condemned half the number to death, and imprisoned the remainder; and, if so, whether representations have been made to the Greek Government?

Earl WINTERTON

The district taken over by the Greeks from the Italians centres round Sokia and Skalanova and does not extend south of the Meander river. According to the information of His Majesty's Government there are no Greek troops within 60 miles of any point in the district between Adalia and Egadir. His Majesty's Government have no information regarding the seizure by the Greeks of any Turks holding safe-conducts from the Allied Powers.
