"Turkish forces ‘aim to harm EU bid’
CORRECTION: Recent Turkish–Kurdish clashes are an attempt by Turkish forces to destroy the country's EU entry chances, a Kurdish leader has claimed.
Ahmed Turk is a leader of the largest Kurdish political organisation, the party for a democratic society, in Turkey.
“There are forces that do not want a modern Turkey or EU accession. Currently there are major attempts by these forces to put the government under enormous pressure,” he told Die Welt.
An anti-terrorist legislative crackdown has raised fears in some European quarters that Turkey might slip back on human rights."
