Turkish Incursion Into Kurdistan

EDM number 1028 in 2007-08, proposed by David Anderson on 25/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Iraq and Military operations.

That this House opposes Turkish military operations in the Kurdistan Region in Iraq; joins the federal Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in urging Turkey to end its violation of Iraqi sovereignty by immediately withdrawing its military forces; deplores the terrorist campaign of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) which does not enjoy any support from the KRG which has taken significant steps to restrict the PKK's ability to act inside the region; notes that Turkey has sought a military solution to the PKK problem for 24 years; believes that the problem can only be solved through dialogue and diplomacy; and encourages all concerned for the political stability of Iraq to support the call for immediate four-party talks between Washington, Ankara, Baghdad and Erbil to solve this issue.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
