Kurdish group meeting in southeaster Turkey called for self-rule amidst heavy fighting in the region, reports Reuters.
A group of Kuridsh non-governmental organisations, the Democratic People’s Congress (DTK), called for self-rule following a two-day meeting in Diyarbakir.
The Kurdish declaration called for the formation of autonomous regions including several neighbouring provinces of Diyarbakir that took into account cultural, economic and geographic issues.
The declaration came after Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey would never allow the formation of a new state within Turkish borders.
