Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he is taking to ensure that Kurdish people in (a) Syria and (b) surrounding regions do not come to harm following the US troop withdrawal from that area.

​We have repeatedly called on Turkey to exercise maximum restraint and bring an end to their military operation in north east Syria. We expect all parties to respect their obligations towards civilians and under International Humanitarian Law. The Prime Minister made this clear to President Erdogan on 11 October.
