I propose to take Questions Nos. 336, 345, 346 and 347 together.
The Government views the terrible events of 1915 which saw the deaths of a very large number of the Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire as a tragedy and has expressed sympathy for the enormous suffering of the Armenian people during the period in question.
There is no international consensus on whether these events amount to genocide and neither the EU nor the UN have adopted a position on this question in relation to the terrible events of 1915.
The Government has not taken a position on whether those terrible events should be described as a genocide as we believe we are not in a position to adjudicate on this matter which involves the consideration and determination of a number of legal issues and an assessment of the actions and intentions of many parties during that time.
