DTP's Turk: "Kurds have long turned their Gaze towards Turkey"

Democratic Society Party (DTP) group chairman Ahmet Turk, accompanied by a group of deputies, yesterday traveled to Sulaimaniyah, northern Iraq to have talks with top Iraqi officials, including President Jalal Talabani. Speaking to reporters at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, Turk said that through dialogue and compromise, all problems can be solved, adding that throughout history Kurds have turned their gaze towards Turkey. Stressing that his party wants to visit Iraq from time to time to hold contacts in a spirit of fellowship, Turk said that Turkey should develop relations with neighboring countries, especially a state with millions of Kurdish citizens.
