Turkish - Kurdish Peace Negotiations

EDM number 2267 in 2010-12, proposed by Hywel Williams on 18/10/2011.
Categorised under the topics of International politics and government, Middle East and Military operations.

That this House is deeply concerned at the worsening of relations between Turkey and the Kurds since the election in June; warns against the consequences of the renewed wave of arrests of leading Kurdish politicians, civil society activists and professionals; calls on Turkey to halt immediately its cross-border military operations and bombing of Kurdish camps inside Iraq; believes that this policy of seeking a solution to the Kurdish question by military means and increased repression will prove futile and can only provoke future unrest and conflict; and urges the Government to exert its influence on Turkish leaders to change course and take steps towards a negotiated settlement with the legitimate representatives of the Kurdish people.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
