Friday, 13 November 2009Turkey's main opposition leader claimed on Friday that the government and the terrorist organization PKK were in a cooperation.
Deniz Baykal, the chairman of the Republican People's Party (CHP), spoke at a parliament session in which the government's democratic move was debated, and said that the government and the terrorist organization PKK were cooperating.
"And they are negotiating with (head terrorist Abdullah) Ocalan," Baykal said.
Baykal said the government took PKK as an interlocutor and cooperated with it even though the PKK had not decided to give up terrorism.
"You fight against terrorism, you do not negotiate with terrorism," he also said.
Baykal said what circles who wanted peace was to ensure PKK lay down arms as soon as possible.
The main opposition leader said there was no change in PKK's intentions, which was to bring out a new nation from the Turkish nation.
"The aim is to ensure national separation and division," Baykal also said.
On July 22, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced his government initiated a move to deal with Kurdish issue and the Ministry of Interior was assigned with the coordination of this task.
A week later, Interior Minister Besir Atalay said their government believed the Kurdish issue would be solved with an egalitarian approach through democratization.
On November 3, the government submitted a motion foreseeing a general debate at the parliament on all aspects of the "democratic initiative" process.
The parliament held its preliminary debate on the motion on November 10. |
