To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they support the call for peace made by the 14th International Conference on the EU, Turkey, the Middle East and the Kurds, on 7 December; and if so, what new steps they will take.

The UK Government has no plans to de-list the PKK, which we are clear is a proscribed terrorist organisation. The onus is on the PKK to cease its campaign of violence so that a peaceful solution can be sought. We continue to support efforts to build dialogue, and to emphasise to the Turkish government the importance of upholding human rights.
