Alienation of Turkey's Kurds - Cogeneration & On-Site Power Production

Alienation of Turkey's Kurds

10/12/2012

ISTANBUL (CIHAN)- The most radical and unflinching steps so far to tackle the century-old Kurdish issue on the basis of mutual understanding have been taken indisputably by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). Since its coming to power in 2002, the AKP has been not only a party for all downtrodden social groups, but also a pro-Kurdish party. Except for the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), which pursued its policies under the armed tutelage of the terrorist organization Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the AKP has been the only political party that could appeal to Kurdish voters. As a ruling party which has removed the majority of obstacles facing the use of the Kurdish language and which lends sincere support to boosting the welfare, rights and freedoms of our Kurdish citizens, the AKP has been able to secure the level of electoral support in the Kurdish-dominated eastern and southeaster provinces which it could not muster in the western provinces of the country.
