BDP asks parliamentary inquiry on mother tongue
Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) Group deputy chairman Ýdris Baluken tabled a parliamentary question on Friday in relation to the right to education and defense in mother tongue.
Baluken asked Speaker’s Office for a parliamentary investigation to provide compensation for citizens deprived of the right to education and defense in mother language, one of the two demands highlighted by Kurdish political prisoners on hunger strike since 12 September.
It has been stated in the parliamentary question that “By denying these rights, Turkish courts breach the Treaty of Lausanne, the establishment treaty of the Turkish Republic, which rules that no restrictions shall be imposed on Turkish nations with a language other than Turkish concerning use of mother language at courts, public meetings, private and trade relations.”
On the written question presented to the President of the Assembly, Ýdris Baluken noted that courts are groundlessly and unlawfully rejecting the demands for defense in mother language.
Baluken asked the Parliament to take the initiative regarding the individually and collectively highlighted demands for education and defense in mother language.
BDP Group deputy chairman added that the parliamentary investigation to be launched should pave the way for legal arrangements in accordance with scientific and sociological truths.
