Mr. Carson indicated some requests of the Turkish Government. They all seem very reasonable. Perhaps after the meeting we could possibly agree a motion related to the letter. It requests the release of journalists and it was read into the record today. The requests involve nothing radical and conform to European norms with respect to how we would like to see journalists operate in a free and democratic society. It is something we should seriously consider as a committee and perhaps adopt today.
