§ Mrs. LaitTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is his policy on the recognition of the Armenian genocide up to 1923; and if he will make a statement. [144863]
§ Mr. VazThe government of the day condemned the massacres; a view shared by this Government. Neither this Government nor previous British Governments have judged the evidence to be sufficiently unequivocal to persuade us that these events should be categorised as genocide as defined by the 1948 UN Convention on Genocide.
