"Mr President, as part of the mission of the unofficial delegation in Iraq, I was able, along with three other Members, to go to Makhmour in the Northern part of Iraq, which is under Iraqi sovereignty, close to the autonomous Kurdish zone. Makhmour is a refugee camp for Turkish Kurds, of whom there are around 10 000. Because of their support for the PKK at the time, they were unable to find refuge in the autonomous zone and, in the event of war, they are likely to be the first victims. That is why they want to go home, to their Turkish mountains.
I would ask Parliament, and I would ask you personally, Mr President, to write to the Turkish authorities, asking them to readmit these villagers whose village was destroyed more than ten years ago. These people want to go home, and they will be the first victims if they are unable to do so. That is why I think this request is fully justified."@en1
