The Burial of General Maude

The Burial of General Maude:
"In the London Conference of 21 February 1921 the Allies conceded to grant a hearing to the Armenian delegation, but as a result of Turkey's hardened position and political manouvering, it accorded a pointless wish - a nation for the Armenians on the Turkish soil. When, two years later, the Allies did not sign the Treaty of Lausanne with Turkey, neither the national home, nor of course, independent Armenia was mentioned in the negotiations. 'History will vainly seek the name of Armenia in the Treaty of Lausanne,' wrote Winston Churchill. It was said that England again sold Armenia for the sake of Mossul. 'Oil weighed thicker than Armenian blood,' said Lord Curzon. But the interests of some, the spineless stance, the indifference or the weakness of others will not make us forget. top"
