KURDS IN IRAN

That this House, recalling the sentiments expressed in Early Day Motion 721, welcomes the apparent developments with regard to the Kurdish People in Iraq; laments the lack of initiative by the international community to call to attention the plight of Kurdish People in neighbouring Iran, Turkey and Syria; believes that in order for full democracy to be achieved in the region, the question of the Kurdish People has to be fairly, democratically and expeditiously resolved with the full participation of all parties concerned and under the auspices of the international community; and calls on the United Kingdom Government to work with the international community to promote the democratic, linguistic and cultural rights of the Kurdish people.
