Kurds and Turks can't exist separately
Solution to the Turkey's major national problem lays through public debate, according to Abdullah Ocalan, the leader of outlawed PKK.

Commenting on the government's plan to settle the problem, Ocalan said that none of the country's political parties understands the peculiarity of the issue.

He particularly slammed position of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).

"In 1970-ies you eliminated leftist movements. Now you want to Finish with Kurds. But the fact is that Kurds and Turks can't exist separately," Ocalan said when addressing MHP leader Devlet Bahceli.

He also demanded to improve his living conditions in prison.
