HC Deb 17 January 1996 vol 269 c588W
Dr. Twinn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent reports he has evaluated in respect of alleged mass killings by Turkish troops of the Kurds; and if he will make a statement. [9695]

Mr. David Davis

I have seen no reports on the mass killings by Turkish troops. I am aware of photographs which recent newspaper articles have alleged to show Turkish soldiers posing with the mutilated bodies of Kurds. I understand that the Turkish ambassador in London has sent copies of the photographs to Ankara for investigation.
