The Turkish Parliament is to ask the UK to repudiate a historical document that is thought to form the basis of the claim that Armenians were victims of genocide by Ottoman Turks during the First World War. The document, 'The treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire 1915-1916', was written by British historian Arnold Toynbee and was an official Government document, which is why the Turkish Parliament wants the (UK) House of Commons and House of Lords to act. |
