Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government when the last review of Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice to south east Turkey was undertaken, specifically with reference to (1) Mardin, (2) Diyarbakir, and (3) Şanlıurfa; what risks were identified; and how often that advice is reviewed.

The travel advice to Turkey is kept under regular review, based on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s active monitoring of the situation on the ground. Our assessment remains that the risk of travelling to Mardin, Diyarbakir and Sanliurfa remains unacceptably high.
