"What can decrease the ethnic tension in the long term is democratic reform policies that would reflect our respect for the Kurdish identity, as well as social integration policies that would strengthen our unity," he said. "But in order to achieve this goal, all of us, including the opposition CHP and MHP [need to] make an opening, for the sake of Turkey's future."
„Ceea ce ar putea duce la scăderea tensiunilor etnice pe termen lung ar fi reforme politice care să reflecte respect faţă de identitatea kurdă, precum şi politici sociale de integrare care să ne consolideze unitatea,” a declarat el. „Pentru a atinge acest obiectiv, noi toţi, inclusiv opoziţie, CHP şi MHP [trebuie să] spargem gheaţa, de dragul viitorului Turciei”.
