<p>The Prime Minister spoke to President Erdogan on 12 and 20 October to express our
opposition to the Turkish military operation and urge an end to the action. Dr Murrison
met the Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister, Sedat Önal, on 26 October and urged restraint
on the part of Turkish forces and their proxies. We therefore welcome the fact that
the ceasefire is holding and that Turkey has confirmed there are no plans for a further
offensive, involving its military forces and Turkish-backed groups. The Foreign Secretary
has also conveyed UK concern to his Turkish counterpart.</p>
