question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Turkey about the (1) continued detention of Selahattin Demirtas despite the ruling by the European Court of Human Rights, and (2) its compliance with international standards in relation to the detention and jailing of other politicians, journalists and civil servants.

uin	HL11961
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>​We have not made representations about the detention of Selahattin Demirtas since the European Court of Human Rights ruling, though we have followed his case and made a number of attempts to observe his trials. We have repeatedly raised with the Turkish authorities the need for any legal processes, including those against MPs, to be conducted fairly, transparently and with full respect for the rule of law. We have also encouraged the Turkish authorities to ensure that the appeals process for civil servants and others dismissed in the aftermath of the July 2016 coup attempt proceeds swiftly and transparently given the large number of cases still awaiting assessment.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/12/2018 11:41:37 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL11931
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>​Our current assessment is that the ceasefire agreement in Idlib, agreed by Turkey and Russia on 17 September, is holding but fragile, with some increase in violence in recent weeks. The humanitarian situation remains poor with much of the population dependent on cross-border humanitarian assistance. We continue to support Turkey's diplomatic efforts and call on all sides to abide by the ceasefire and to facilitate humanitarian access.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/12/2018 15:55:26 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL11932
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>​We welcome the diplomatic efforts by Turkey to avoid a military offensive by the Syrian regime in Idlib province. The ceasefire agreed between Turkey and Russia on 17 September is holding but fragile. We were also encouraged by the joint statement, agreed by the leaders of Germany, France, Turkey and Russia at their summit on Syria on 27 October, which called for a &quot;lasting ceasefire&quot; in Idlib as well as &quot;rapid, safe and unhindered access&quot; for humanitarian agencies throughout Syria and conditions to be created for the &quot;safe and voluntary return of refugees and internally displaced persons&quot;. We have, however, yet to see significant progress towards implementation of these commitments by Russia and the Syrian regime.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/12/2018 15:54:56 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
