Roth: Kurdish identity key to Turkey’s EU entry

“The recognition of the Kurdish identity is a key on the path leading to the European Union membership,” Claudia Roth said in the press conference on Friday.
Roth said that in the 18 years that she had been travelling to the region her present visit had shown her many changes and that the people had renewed hope.
The delegation of German Greens were on a visit to the region to assess the development of democratisation in south eastern Turkey.
