The Public Prosecutor's Office in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir submitted a report of its findings to the Justice Ministry after completing the probe into Democratic Society Party, or DTP, chairman, Ahmet Turk, after he made a comparison between the head of the terrorist organization PKK, Abdullah Ocalan, and South Africa's legendary former President Nelson Mandela

The report, recommending the removal of Turk's political immunity, will be submitted to Parliament through the ministry.

At a Nevruz celebration in Diyarbakir on March 21 to mark the arrival of spring, Turk told the crowd that the black-white dispute was resolved when Mandela was freed and that the Kurdish issue could only be resolved if Ocalan, who was currently serving a life imprisonment, was freed.

Prosecutors had requested a transcript of Turk's speech from Diyarbakir police and launched an investigation into Turk for disseminating propaganda on behalf of the terrorist organization.
