In an interview to Tîroj magazine, BDP Mersin MP Ertuðrul Kürkçü made evaluations in respect to the Kurdish problem.
Kürkçü underlined that the AKP didn’t have a military victory to gain against the PKK and added; “A great majority of the PKK, BDP and DTK leadership is made up of the generation of socialist, revolutionist, workers’ and democratic movements in Turkey. However, the new Kurdish generation’s struggle links with Turks struggle isn’t as deep as that of former generation. We should therefore get a move on.”
Remarking that the fulfillment of Kurdish movement’s demands would mean AKP’s forever leaving the power to a center of opposition in a large part of the country, Kürkçü expressed his opinion that the AKP will get an unfavorable picture following the negotiations it conducted with the Kurdish liberation movement as of early 2011.
Kürkçü noted that to “agree” on the formula of “Democratic Autonomous Kurdistan” one way or another would for the AKP mean to share the power with PKK in Kurdistan.
