ISIL: Iraq and Syria

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

Returning to the humanitarian crisis in and around Kobane, the Foreign Secretary is right that an estimated 178,000 refugees have crossed the border into Turkey, but many were seeking sanctuary in Kobane and are left there

under threat. Given the sensitivities in the relationship between the Kurdish community and the Turkish authorities, can the right hon. Gentleman reassure us that he or other Ministers have had conversations with the Turkish authorities to ensure that they will be up to the problems created by a humanitarian crisis, should it occur?
