Turkey–PKK peace talks

Turkey is moving backwards again with regards to its Kurdish problem. President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an is twanging nationalist chords and saying it is not possible to go on with the Kurdish peace process. He is also stoking sentiments against the pro-Kurdish Peoples? Democratic Party (HDP), which got 13 percent of the vote in the June 7 elections.

Turkey?s government cannot take further steps in the peace process unless the outlawed Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK) lays down its arms and takes concrete steps to foster peace, President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has said.
