DİYARBAKIR (DİHA )- We do not want stress in Diyarbakır says DTP’s co-chair Ahmet Turk in meeting with the press. There is nobody who try to hypothecate people’s will or intimidate people by police force can be accepted by people. We are telling Mr. President that our people have had cultural and identification requirements and they are economically poor. Can you answer these expectations, asked Turk in his statement giving during the meeting.

DTP’s co-chairs Ahmet Turk and Emine Ayna, Diyarbakır Metropolitan Mayor Osman Baydemir, Acting President of DTP Group in Parliament Selahattin Demirtaş, DTP’s Diyarbakır deputy Aysel Tuğluk and other mayors have gathered and have a breakfast with the press for evaluating PM R. Tayyip Erdoğan’s visit to Diyarbakır. Ahmet Turk pointed that PM’s actions and implementations in the region are tightening the atmosphere such as employing all kind of obstacle to blockade DTP’s election work.

Opportunities have to be used equally other wise people’ reactions has to be understood. An approach which is equal and fair has to be admitted by PM and AKP administration in order to eliminate stress in the region, said Turk in his speech.

'DTP is hindered'

Regarding police attacks on people in Diyarbakır event Turk said that: According to Diyarbakır Governor there were no gas bombs had been thrown on the protestors or police didn’t use excessive force. No need to say these explanations are not right. This approach and evaluations have terrorized DTP and created tight atmosphere which is not favorite for election. Government has to respect people’s will. Otherwise people have to resist against this understanding.

Matter of the fact we need dialog which helps us to see the issues through other visions. That is why Mr. PM has to listen us and watch the records from Diyarbakır incidents and then he can make decision about who is lying. If people out for their demands you cannot take their will under the hypothec. Neither of us can hypothec these demands. You need to tell us and our people about what are you going to do due to lift poverty, due to answer people’s identity and cultural demands.

Diyarbakır Metropolitan Mayor Osman Baydemir said; if PM going to visit Diyarbakır as a chair of AKP, there is no need to meet him as PM even according to the protocol. I’m not going to go to meet him.
