PES warns against banning of DTP

The PES encourages all efforts to resolve this longstanding problem through peaceful dialogue and the democratic process.

PES President Poul Nyrup Rasmussen said: “The Turkish government should engage with determination to solve the Kurdish problem. I see no point in banning the DTP, since this would silence a central voice on the issue and thereby undermine the resolution of the problem.”
