"Five messages from EU to Turkish Kurds
By Zeynep Gurcanli

EU ambassadors have lunch with Diyarbakir Mayor and HADEP member Osman Baydemir. They give Baydemir five messages, including discouraging him from joining forces with Ocalan. Their messages are:

* Joining forces with Ocalan would not be positive

* Use of violence won't be tolerated by the EU

* The EU favors Kurdish integration into Turkish society

* When the EU refers to the Kurds it's not just referring to people living in the mountains

* Violence is in nobody's interest, certainly not the Kurds "
