Demirtaş in London

BDP co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş was in London for a three-days visit where he spoke at two meetings held at the British parliament and at the Kurdish community center. The video lasts 20 minutes. Four demands are clearly spelled out (minute 6:50): [a] Kurdish identity to be constitutionally guaranteed in the currently debated Turkish charter [b] Kurdish language to be made official and used freely in the public domain [c] Kurds to be able to administer themselves through democratic autonomy [d] freedom for political association and organization under their own ethnic identity. I ask you all to consider: would Cypriots deny the Turkish Cypriot community (circa 80.000) these rights? Will the Turks deny the Kurdish community (20 million) these rights?
