ISIL: Iraq and Syria

Proceeding contribution from Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on ISIL: Iraq and Syria.

I, too, was surprised at the lack of reference in the Foreign Secretary’s statement to the role of Turkey. May I get a response from him on one point? Will he prevail on the Turkish Government not to attack legitimate civilian protest in locations as far apart as Van, Mardin, Diyarbakir and Istanbul? Up to 9 October, 33 civilians have been killed by Turkish police and paramilitaries, and 336 people, I believe, have been injured, allegedly by Turkish forces chanting, “Long live ISIL”.
