<p>The situation on the Turkish-Syrian border remains dynamic. We understand that
Turkey has closed a number of border crossings with Syria following the occupation
of the Syrian side by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). We have regular
discussions with the Turkish government about the threat posed by ISIL. The Prime
Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), discussed cooperation
against ISIL when he met Prime Minister Davutoğlu and President Erdoğan during a visit
to Turkey on 9 December.</p>
