Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, speaking in Istanbul on the occasion of Nowruz, urged the Turkish and Kurdish populations to unite in the name of their common faith.
"Turks and Kurds have been brothers throughout history, and they will remain like that forever, so let's stand shoulder to shoulder in the name of our common faith, without succumbing to incitement. Let us bury hatred, violence, weapons, rather than our young people. We are determined to keep peace, unity and brotherhood in our land," RIA Novosti quoted him.
