Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their best estimate of the numbers killed and wounded on both sides in the armed conflict in Turkey since 1984, and of those displaced and exiled by military action (including those who have recently fled into northern Iraq).

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Chalker of Wallasey)

There are no figures for those wounded. Up to 2 million people are believed to have been displaced, of whom around 15,000 fled to northern Iraq.
