Second Anniversary Message from the Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP

A Message from the Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP

Leader of the Labour Party

“I want to congratulate the Centre for Turkey Studies on your second anniversary.

I know that over the last two years, Ibrahim and his team have worked incredibly hard to raise the profile of the centre and strengthen links between Britain and Turkey. This is particularly valuable now, as Turkey shows increasing economic and diplomatic confidence and as we have vibrant Turkish and Kurdish communities here in Britain. When Labour was in government we worked to retain good relationships between Britain and Turkey and we strongly supported Turkey’s accession to the EU. I am fully committed to continuing to strengthen the bonds between our two nations and I acknowledge the work the Centre does in helping to support this.

I wish the Centre for Turkey Studies and all the best for another successful year.”
