Tarık Ziya Ekinci is of the opinion that Erdoğan is going to overlook persistence of the conflict atmosphere during the election campaign period to have the HDP remain under the election threshold.

Chief of Staff İlker Başbuğ made his annual evaluation speech at the War Academies Command in Istanbul on 14 April. Kurdish politician Ekinci sees no great change to the past.

Kurdish politician Ekinci argues that Turkey has not taken any concrete steps to solve the Kurdish issue since PKK leader Öcalan’s capture ten years ago. He calls for constitutional change.

Kurdish politician Ekinci thinks that the Kurdish Workers Party did not plan the bomb attacks in Güngören, Üsküdar, Mersin and İzmir. He says that both sides should lay down the arms to end the violence and those interested in peace should raise their voice and increase the pressure.
