Hürriyet Daily News published an article by Murat Yetkin headlined 'CHP demands Erdoğan act transparently on Kurdish bid.'
"Following recent criticism that the CHP had no program regarding a solution to the Kurdish problem and the problem of terror stemming from the three-decade-old campaign of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), Kılıçdaroğlu (leader of the CHP - VK) organized a press meeting with the editors of national Turkish papers on May 10 in Istanbul and declared that his party’s solution to the Kurdish program was “through democratization,” under 19 titles. Those include lowering the 10 percent threshold which is the demand of both the PKK’s imprisoned leader, Abdullah Öcalan, and the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), which is focused on the Kurdish problem and which is playing a key role in the government bid to find a political solution to the Kurdish problem, initiated by Erdoğan," the article reads.
"The CHP’s suggestions for a solution to the Kurdish problem, as well as some criticism against the government initiative are open to discussion, as you may read in detail in today’s Hürriyet Daily News. But Kılıçdaroğlu has a point when he questions Erdoğan’s demand for being a partner of the initiative without being officially and properly informed about it," Yetkin writes.
