<p>The Foreign Secretary and I have regular discussions with our Turkish counterparts
on human rights. We consistently encourage the Turkish Government to uphold the rule
of law, to respect fundamental freedoms such a freedom of expression and to adhere
to its international obligations. In addition the British Embassy in Ankara provides
project support to a number of Turkish civil society organisations working in the
area of fundamental freedoms. In recent years we have funded projects on supporting
the freedom of expression, promoting women’s and minority rights, and tackling human
trafficking.</p>
