Tragically. they have been treated not much better in Turkey. News reports indicate that Turkish refugees camps are in miserable condition. lack basic amenities and isolate Kurds from employment opportunities. Since Turkish authorities refuse to grant Kurds refugee status. they live in squalor. International efforts to build them permanent housing were canceled by the Turkish Government. President Ozal appears to want Kurds to return to Iraq. There they will undoubtedly face further persecution. Mr. Speaker. Kurdish refugees in Turkey must be granted access to interntional refugee agencies and proper care. In addition. we must insist that Iraq. Iran. and Turkey respect fully the rights of their Kurdish citizens.
