    MHP LEADER LIKENS KURDISH SETTLEMENT ROADMAP TO TREATY OF SEVRES, SAYS MARKS COLLAPSE OF TURKISH REPUBLIC

    Turkey's Nationalist Movement Party leader Devlet Bahceli has drawn
    a parallel between the Treaty of Sèvres, which the Allied powers
    imposed on the Ottoman government and was to create a Kurdish state
    in Anatolia, with a recent agreement between the pro-Kurdish Peoples'
    Democratic Party (HDP) and the government made in order to solve the
    Kurdish problem, saying the agreement is a "treasonous text" that will
    lead to the "collapse of the Turkish Republic," Today's Zamanreports.

    A delegation representing the government and the HDP made a joint
    statement on Saturday following a meeting at Dolmabahce Palace
    concerning details of the roadmap, which is based on 10 articles,
    aiming to solve the country's decades-long Kurdish problem. In
    the joint statement, the parties unveiled the 10 articles, which
    were originally penned by Abdullah Ocalan, the imprisoned leader
    of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), for the progression of
    settlement talks. The roadmap also includes a commitment to change
    the Constitution.

    Speaking at his party's weekly group meeting on Tuesday, Bahceli
    slammed the agreement between the government and the HDP, of which,
    he says, every article signals the "ruin" of the state.

    "[They say the] PKK will convene an extraordinary congress, it will
    lay down its arms and peace will come, a way for democracy will be
    paved. They were also voicing [statements about] peace while taking
    about the Treaty of Sèvres, but it was obvious at the time what kind
    of hell it would bring to the Turkish people... this treasonous text
    is the collapse of Turkish Republic," Bahceli said.

    The victorious Western powers imposed the Treaty of Sèvres on the
    Ottoman government at the end of World War I. The treaty was signed
    on Aug. 10, 1920, and provided for the establishment of Armenian and
    Kurdish states in Anatolia, but was in fact never put into effect as
    it was rejected by the national liberation movement, whose success
    led to its replacement by the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923.

    "There is no difference between the dirty rag of a treaty signed
    in Aug. 10, 1920, and the treasonous text [agreed] upon on Feb. 28,
    2015," Bahceli added.
