Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2018. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counter-Daesh Update.


Counter-Daesh Update

Does the Secretary of State accept that our principal allies on the ground in Syria have been Kurdish-led? Does he share my concern that, having helped to supress and eliminate Daesh in Syria, those Kurdish-led forces may now find

themselves under attack by Turkey, a country with an ambivalent record toward both Islamist extremism on the one hand and Russia on the other? What will we do if we find that our Kurdish allies are attacked by our so-called NATO ally?
