HC Deb 13 April 1983 vol 40 cc413-4W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government will raise the question at the United Nations of the repression of human rights in Turkey.

Mr. Hurd

The Government have repeatedly made clear at the United Nations that we deplore human rights violations wherever they occur. We have no plans to raise the specific question of human rights in Turkey at the United Nations. But we continue to make the Turkish authorities aware of our concern over alleged human rights violations.
