Pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Congress's (DTK) head Ahmet Turk said there is nothing left to do on their side to preserve unilateral ceasefire which was declared by the PKK last August.

Speaking to a group of reporters in Turkish parliament DTK co-chair Ahmet Turk said all efforts to achieve a permanent peace was shown by Kurdish politicians. Mentioning that the Kurdish Question has now entered a new phase Turk said now its Turkish NGO's turn to organize and put pressure on the Turkish government to take concrete steps to solve the Kurdish Question.

Turk commented on the negotiations between Turkish state officials and Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan and said that they will wait for the outcome of the negotiations.

Turk insisted that if Turkey sees its future in a democratic and peaceful Middle East, it has to act immediately to solve the Kurdish Question. But Turk underlined the fact that Kurdish Question can not be solved with the classical denial approach of the Turkish Republic.

Speaking on Kurds demand for autonomy Turk said Kurdish people has no intention to separate their homeland from Turkey or to form an independent state.

“Kurdish demands are for living together. Out understanding is based on equal, free participation of all ethnic groups to the politics and administration” he said.

Turk called the Turkish government to put a project on the table before it can expect anything from the Kurdish side. Turk said Kurdish side had expectations from the Turkish state but no positive step was taken by the Turkish government since two years although Kurdish side called for a peaceful settlement of the problem.

“Ceasefire is an opportunity for peace. If this opportunity will not be seized the risks will be higher” he said.
