(POL) DTP LEADER PROPOSES ESTABLISHMENT OF A PARLIAMENT COMMITTEE ON DEMOCRATIC MOVE.

ANKARA, Nov 14, 2009 (TUR) -- The chairman of the Democratic Society Party (DTP) of Turkey proposed on Friday establishment of a parliament committee regarding the government's democratic move.

During a parliament session in which the democratic move was debated, DTP chairman Ahmet Turk proposed that a committee in which all political parties at the parliament were represented should be set up to find a democratic and political solution to the main problem of Turkey.

"Since this is our problem, and we are supposed to find a solution, then the government should hand over this issue to the parliament instead of carrying it out behind closed doors and blurring the process," Turk said.

Turk also said that arms could totally be out of discussion in Turkey within three months if there was a serious solution approach.

The DTP leader defined the issue a problem that had to be solved within Turkey's borders and with Turkey's internal dynamics.

On July 22, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced his government initiated a move to deal with Kurdish issue and the Ministry of Interior was assigned with the coordination of this task.

A week later, Interior Minister Besir Atalay said their government believed the Kurdish issue would be solved with an egalitarian approach through democratization.

On November 3, the government submitted a motion foreseeing a general debate at the parliament on all aspects of the "democratic initiative" process.

The parliament held its preliminary debate on the motion on November 10.
