The HAGUE- Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Rudaw on Wednesday that he will soon meet with a delegation from the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party), adding that the Turkish government has no issue with the Kurds and that they have a “strong potential” in the Turkish parliament.
“As their president, we have no problems whatsoever with our Kurdish citizens living in the region. Things are going very well right now. They have strong potential in parliament. Since they don't have such problems, they requested a meeting for this march, this process,” Erdogan told Rudaw during a press conference he held on the sidelines of the NATO summit in the Hague.
Erdogan received a DEM Party delegation, consisting of lawmakers Sirri Surreya Onder and Pervin Buldan, on April 10, marking the first meeting between Erdogan and a pro-Kurdish party in a decade. Onder passed away in May.
