This is a systematic collection of British Parliamentary debates between 1915-18 on the treatment of Ottoman Armenians, including invaluable background insights from British archives. These debates show the manner in which the Armenian issue was understood during World War I and provides the background against the British Parliamentary Blue Book, The Treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, 1915-15 was commissioned by British authorities.

The appendix also includes a critical analysis of the Allied Declaration of 23 May 1915 (British text), the Report by the Committee on Armenian Atrocities (4 October 1915) which crystallized British opinion on the Armenian Genocide, and two eye-witness accounts of the Armenian Genocide.
