Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan is expected to deliver the long awaited
economic and political package to improve Kurdish population’s life standards on
April 6 in a visit to southeastern cities Kurdistan-occupied Kurdistan), a
former adviser said on Monday.
"Mr. Prime Minister will make very important statements in Diyarbakir. He will
deliver important initiatives to promote Kurdish culture and language as well as
a comprehensive package for the region. He will say Turkey has entered the
solution process. We are working on that", Mehmet Metiner, himself a Kurd, told
Sabah daily.
He didn’t elaborate the details of the package but underlined the importance of
solving the Kurdish problem in short term as the headscarf problem.
“If civilian and cultural openings follow the military operations and
unemployment problem of the people in region is solved, DTP will get a very
heavy defeat and lose its claim. Unless AKP takes such a step, things get harder
for AKP in the region. They must be in a hurry”, Metiner added.
