The motion

That this House expresses grave concern for the Syriac people, an ancient Christian minority who faced extinction in their own homeland of Tur Abdin; notes that once again these people, many of whom only returned in recent years, find themselves caught in the middle of fighting between the PKK fighters and Turkish security forces; and implores the Government to ensure that they are not forced to flee or be murdered in their homeland.
