<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>
