Question for Foreign and Commonwealth Office

UIN HL1083, tabled on 8 July 2016

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the collapse of the Dolmabahçe Agreement, whether they will discuss with the government of Turkey the proposal by Open Democracy of 15 steps for Turkish–Kurdish peace.

We understand that the Government of Turkey did not commit itself to specific undertakings following the talks at the Dolmabahçe Palace in February 2015. We have been very clear that the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) violence must end in order to create the conditions for political resolution of the difficulties in the south east.
