star this property answer text <p>We have consistently encouraged Turkey to ensure that the elections are held to internationally accepted standards. We have urged Turkey to invite election monitors from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the Council of Europe to observe the elections, and to act upon the recommendations made by those bodies following the Presidential elections in June 2018. If election observation missions take place we will consider offering HMG support, as we did in June. It is important for Turkish democracy that the local elections accurately reflect the wishes of the Turkish people.</p> more like this

Agreement has now been reached on the names of regime and opposition participants, but has not yet been reached on the third list of independent participants proposed by the UN. In his briefing to the UN Security Council last month, the Special Envoy made clear that the main reason for this, is objections posed by the regime, Russia and Iran. We call on Russia and Iran to abide by their commitments and cooperate with the Special Envoy's efforts.</p> more like this

UNRWA undertakes regular visits to those camps where it has access. The UK is providing £36 million through UNRWA to support the estimated 438,000 Palestinian refugees inside Syria, of whom over 250,000 are internally displaced and 95% are in acute need of sustained humanitarian assistance.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>​According to UN agencies, 120,000 Palestine refugees have been displaced from Syria to neighbouring countries, including Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Egypt, as well as Europe. We support the right of refugees to return to their homes in Syria voluntarily, in safety and dignity, in line with international humanitarian law, when conditions allow. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees is clear that present conditions in Syria are not conducive for voluntary repatriation in safety and dignity. This is due to a range of factors, notably that significant risks remain for civilians across the country, of which conditions in return areas is just one. We are clear that a just, fair, agreed and realistic settlement for Palestinian refugees should be reached as part of a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli and the Palestinian conflict.</p> more like this
