11:14 - 21.06.11
At the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly's (PACE) summer
session which kicked off in Strasburg on Monday, a statement by the
Assembly's raparteur for Turkey insulted PACE president Mehmet
Chavushoglu, according to the Kurdish news agency Firat.
Addressing the recent parliamentary election in Turkey and the Kurdish
minority's influence on the country's political life, Josette Durieu,
a French parliamentarian representing the socialist party in PACE,
said: "It is necessary to closely follow what trend the Kurds will
adopt after the election ... I went to Van on the election day because
it is in Kurdistan. Policemen and soldiers were walking about in the
polling stations."
Hearing the word Kurdistan, Chavushoglu answered: " Turkey has a
region populated by Kurds, but there's no Kurdistan as such. Let's
avoid making statements violating the sovereignty of states."
