Halabja Anniversary

EDM number 890 in 2002-03, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 13/03/2003.

That this House records the 15th anniversary of the massacre of Kurdish people at Halabja in 1988 with sadness and sends its sympathy to the survivors and the families of victims; applauds the efforts of Kurdish people to live in peace in an autonomous region of Iraq; is deeply concerned that Turkish forces using United States equipment and United States support are planning to invade from the north as part of the war drive against Iraq; and rejects invasion and war as being neither legal nor legitimate and motivated only by American military power and thirst for oil.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
