HC Deb 17 October 1989 vol 158 c78W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further representations he has made to the Government of Turkey concerning abuses of human rights and the treatment of Kurdish people.

Mr. Maude

I shall be meeting the Under-Secretary of the Turkish Foreign Ministry later today. I shall make it clear that, while we welcome the improvement in Turkey's human rights record described by Mr. Ozal in his address to the Council of Europe on 27 September, it remains important that the Turkish Government should respect and abide by the terms of the international conventions to which they are a party.
