Ali Haydar Konca

Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) co-chair Selahattin Demirta? has said the current situation for Turkish workers was a bad one, adding politics needed to assume risks and parliament needed to take a radical decision to reverse their situation, which would begin with the forging of a new constitution. 

Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu appointed two new members of the interim government on Sept. 22, following the resignations of Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) ministers Müslüm Do?an and Ali Haydar Konca earlier that day.

Beril Dedeo?lu was appointed EU minister while Mustafa Cüneyd Düzyol was named as minister of development, a written statement from the prime minister's office said.

Two ministers from the Peoples? Democratic Party (HDP), EU Minister Ali Haydar Konca and Development Minister Müslüm Do?an, resigned Sept. 22 from their posts in an interim cabinet in a sign of growing tension over the ongoing conflict between Turkey?s security forces and militants of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK).

According to Turkish European Union Minister Ali Haydar Konca, during the week-long curfew in southeastern Cizre at least 20 people lost their lives, though the prime minister of the country apparently wanted to believe no one was hurt. The premier, fighting for his own political survival, was obviously uninformed of the saga of little Cemile.

When Donald Tusk, the president of the European Union Commission, met with Turkish President Tayyip Erdo?an on Sept. 9 in Ankara, Turkey?s EU Affairs Minister Ali Haydar Konca was not present.

A delegation headed by the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) co-chair Selahattin Demirta? sought to enter the Cizre district of the southeastern ??rnak province on Sept. 9, on the sixth day of the curfew in the area. 

The delegation was stopped on their way to Cizre as soon as they left the Midyat district of southeastern province of Mardin.

Representatives of opposition political parties criticized police raids on media outlets of the Koza Media Group on Sept. 1, with a main opposition party forming a commission to examine pressure on media outlets in Turkey.

European Union Affairs Minister and chief negotiator Ali Haydar Konca has made a call to "silence arms" and said "arms should be buried," stressing the resolution for the Kurdish peace process should be found through dialogue. 

Handover ceremonies were held on Aug. 29 for the members of the interim government that will be in charge until after the early elections on Nov. 1.
