LAST EXIT BEFORE RECESS
A day before the Turkish Parliament goes into recess, the first contact between the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party and opposition Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) has been established. The officials of both political parties met in Ankara on Wednesday upon an invitation by the Speaker of Turkish Parliament Cemil Cicek. BDP officials demanded amendments in the Counter-Terrorism Laws and repetition of elections in south-eastern province of Diyarbakir so that Hatip Dicle, whose position as a deputy was dropped due to a past conviction, gets elected. AK Party officials told the BDP officials that all problems could be solved in the parliament through consensus. The officials of both parties are expected to meet again on Thursday. BDP deputies refused to take oath at the Turkish Parliament recently after Dicle was dropped off his position as a deputy due to a past conviction and several BDP deputies were not released from prison.
