QANDIL, Kurdistan--Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) called Kurds to protest Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan during his visit to Diyarbakır tomorrow.
A high ranking official of PKK's umbrella organization known as the Kurdistan Democratic Confederation (KCK) Bozan Tekin called people of Diyarbakır to protest Erdogan.
In a phone call interview with Kurdish cultural and linguistic satellite channel Roj Tv Mr Bozan Tekin stated that “the constitutional amendments by Turkish government does not match Kurdish demands, therefore, prime ministers meeting should be protested”.
Turkish politicians still insist on denial of the Kurdish identity, and they do not want to recognize what the Kurds want, democracy and freedom, in contrast, Turkish government attempting to re-control Kurdish people and political process in Northern Kurdistan: Tekin said:
Yesterday Erdogan said that he doesn't have a special message or something special to say in Diyarbakır meeting.
The Kurdish side gave great importance to Erdogan's Diyarbakır visit. Kurds were waiting for Erdogan's statements, which said to be an answer to PKK's ceasefire declaration on 11 August.
It is important to highlight that Turkish government exclusively denies Kurdish identity, thousands of the Kurdish innocent killed or kidnapped by the current Turkish government, and thousand others including children faced long term imprisonment.
How freedom and democracy could be achieved when 30 million Kurds denied the right of identity, language, culture, etc. Democracy has its own definition; Mr Erdogan cannot distort its originality with Islamic ideology.
