<p>We speak regularly to Turkey about our concerns relating to the risks posed by
COVID-19 in Turkey. Ministers and our Ambassador to Turkey continue to engage the
Turkish Government on Covid risks and future work to tackle the disease.</p><p>We
support the call made by the UN Secretary-General in his message of 22 April that
human rights must be at the front and centre of the COVID-19 response and recovery.
We continue to be clear in our expectation that Turkey, like all countries, should
live up to its human rights obligations towards all its citizens. We support all efforts
by the UN to minimise long-term damage to global economies, societies, politics and
freedoms.</p>
