No such talks are planned between any of the parties, so there is no possibility of any country being invited.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2016 answer text <p>The ongoing violence in the predominantly Kurdish areas of south-east Turkey is extremely concerning. We believe Turkey has a legitimate right to defend itself against the PKK, whose attacks we condemn as we condemn all terrorism. Our thoughts are with the victims of these attacks, and the civilians who have been caught up in the violence. As in any conflict, civilian casualties should be avoided and human rights need to be fully protected. PKK violence must end and the peace process be resumed. We stand ready to help in any way we can. The Foreign Secretary and Her Majesty’s Ambassador to Turkey have emphasised to the Turkish government the need to respect human rights, avoid civilian casualties and return to the peace process.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 06/06/2016 13:39:29 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
