Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will call on the government of Turkey to end the current state of emergency before the general election on 24 June.

​We have consistently urged the Turkish government to lift the state of emergency as soon as possible. We have noted Turkish media reporting that President Erdogan has said publicly that he would end the state of emergency if re-elected on 24 June. We believe that doing so would signal a return towards normality.
