HL Deb 05 April 1995 vol 563 c17WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How they intend to mark the 80th anniversary of the genocide of the Armenians by the Ottoman Empire, which began with the arrest and slaughter of 235 leading Armenian intellectuals during the night of 23rd April 1915, and culminated in the extermination of an estimated one and a half million of the Armenian people of Turkey, and the exile of the survivors.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

These were tragic events, but we have no plans to mark the anniversary.
