UK Ministers and officials encourage the Turkish authorities to safeguard the welfare of all minority groups in Turkey and respect their human rights, in line with the Turkish constitution. We also regularly emphasise to the Turkish government the need to respect human rights and avoid civilian casualties in its operations in Iraq. We will continue to monitor these issues closely.
