ISIL: Iraq and Syria

Proceeding contribution from Richard Ottaway (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on ISIL: Iraq and Syria.

I congratulate the Foreign Secretary on the tone and approach of his statement, but may I press him a little further on the role of Turkey? Will he verify the truth of rather astonishing reports that the Turks bombed Kurdish PKK camps in the last few days, rather than ISIL camps? Can he confirm that the Turks have said that they will not intervene on the ground in Syria unless the opposition is armed? He has spoken about further support for the moderate armed opposition, but will the further support that he says is under consideration include the supply of lethal equipment?
