<p>We maintain a regular dialogue at all levels with the Turkish government on the
threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). The Secretary of
State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right Hon Friend the Member for Runnymede
and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), discussed cooperation against ISIL with the Turkish Foreign
Minister when they spoke on 9 October 2014. Since then, the Turkish President has
made clear Turkey’s commitment to support international efforts to tackle the threat
posed by ISIL. <br><br>Turkey is already making a valuable contribution to the international
campaign against ISIL through use of its airspace and its airbases for reconnaissance
and humanitarian support. We also value greatly Turkey’s generosity in hosting almost
two million refugees fleeing Syria and Iraq.</p>
