Apparently, the British government does not regard the 1915-16 incidents during the Ottoman era as 'Armenian genocide.'
In a letter sent by the British Foreign Ministry upon the initiatives of a UK-based Turkish institution, it is stated the incidents do not fit the category of genocide. British diplomats speaking to Zaman also confirmed this. London refutes the claims in the Blue Book (Mavi Kitap) that caused a crisis between Turkey and UK. The book, said to be 'the biggest support' for the so-called Armenian genocide, claimed more than 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered during the incidents."
