/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Selahattin Demirtas has been elected as chairman
of the new pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party, or BDP, and Gulten
Kisanak has been named co-chairman.
The party's first congress held in Ankara on Monday brought together
450 members, who also voted for an administrative board, Hurriyet
reported.
The BDP was formed in early 2008, just a few months after the
indictment against the Democratic Society Party, or DTP, was announced
in November 2007. The Constitutional Court ruled to close the DTP
due to its links with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK,
which is listed as a terror organization by a number of international
communities, including the European Union and the United States.
