Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have made representations to the government of Turkey following the comments from President Erdogan that those who vote no in the April referendum will be siding with supporters of terrorists.

We regularly raise the importance of the rule of law and fundamental rights with Turkish counterparts. We urge Turkey to hold a free and fair referendum, held in line with international norms, including respect for freedom of expression.
