Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations were made to the Turkish Government on BBC reports that four HDP members were shot and killed in Suruc during an election campaign visit by AKP deputy Ibrahim Halil Yıldız on 14 June 2018.

We are aware of the reports of violence in Suruc. In the lead up to the election we consistently raised with Turkish authorities our hopes for a peaceful and transparent election process.
