The Democratic Peoples' Congress (HDK) announced the final declaration of its 4th General Assembly meeting.

Referring to the messages of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan during his meetings with lawyers, the statement said: “Mr. Öcalan stated that he stands at the same point of democratic solution and peace in the negotiations and further deepened this position.

He said - the statement added - that the state and the government should take steps in this direction.
