Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 18 October 2007.
Iraq: Withdrawal
- Question
- My Lords, does that mean that we will oppose any American troops being used to sort out the problem in northern Iraq in the event of Turkish intervention?
- Answer
-
My Lords, we are not envisaging Turkish intervention in northern Iraq. We are aware, as is the international community, of the terrorist attacks that have been undertaken by certain elements in the north, the PKK in particular. We are supporting all efforts to stop such terrorist activity, and we recognise the calm measures that the Turkish Government have taken to date in response to those attacks.
