Turkish Authorities And Ozgur Ulke

EDM number 420 in 1994-95, proposed by Ieuan Wyn Jones on 19/01/1995.

That this House deplores the daily confiscation by the Turkish authorities of the pro-Kurdish newspaper Ozgur Ulke, the violent deaths of 20 of its reporters and distributors and the imprisonment of a further 35 of its staff; asserts that this repression is entirely unacceptable in a supposedly democratic state that is a member of the Council of Europe and aspires to membership of the European Union; calls upon the Turkish authorities to desist from this appalling conduct and to negotiate a political solution of the Kurdish problem; and calls upon the United Kingdom Government, both in its own right and through the Council of Europe, the European Union and the CSCE, to exert maximum pressure upon the Government of Turkey in this regard.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
