This question to the Minister was tabled before the elections in Turkey took place and concerned the attack in Ankara in which 102 people were killed. I asked whether the Minister was concerned about the lack of security services to protect citizens attending peaceful and democratic rallies, especially during the run-up to the election. I note that three months earlier, there was a bombing in Suruç after which the Turkish Government rounded up 2,500 people, the majority of whom were Kurds, who had been the victims of the attack in Suruç. In addition, 114 members of ISIS are supposed to have been lifted as part of that response. However, this has moved on to the question of the election itself and the next question I will ask the Minister is whether he is concerned about what happened.
