In reply to this 1 it was pointed out that the Allies did not recognise the treaty.
Nubar Pasha, head of the Armenian delegation, produced a telegram from the Patriarch of Constantinople alleging that the Turks massacred 85 per cent, of the population in the Kars and Alerandropol regions. The Turkish delegate also urged the claims of Kurdish Armenia, which he declared already enjoyed -wide local autonomy, and did not desire independence.
■ Lord Curzon pointed out regarding Armenia that the Powers had not the slightest intention of abandoning their obligation to constitute a united and stable Armenia, restoring the districts of which she had been recently deprived and providing a secure national existence.
The meeting decided to submit to the Supreme Council proposals for a possible modification of the Kurdish Armenian clauses of the treaty in view of recent events. \ -. .
