Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has urged lawmakers, provincial chairs and mayors of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) from the Black Sea region to reach a “common discourse” over the recent “peace process.”“Stay away from statements that could sabotage the process. We’ve always emphasized that our Kurdish citizens’ problems and [the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party] PKK problem is different. We are progressing on our way toward a resolution. The opposition is attempting to sabotage this process with lies. I expect you to inform people about this process properly,” he was quoted as saying on Feb. 7 at a closed-door meeting at party headquarters with AKP lawmakers, as well as AKP provincial chairs and mayors from the Black Sea region.
