Kurds threaten war unless Erdogan solves their issues

The pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Congress DTK co-chair and Van candidate Aysel Tugluk said Kurdish people will start a war unless their issue is solved.

“We can patiently await a solution, but won’t have our rights ignored,” she stressed.

The candidature of the former advocate of Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan is supported by the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), Ihlas Kurdish news agency reported.

Parliamentary election in Turkey is set for June 12. АКР Justice and Development Party headed by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan holds the leadership, followed by Republican People's Party (CHP) and nationalists which may overcome a 10% barrier.
