Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş criticized President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement in which he denied the existence of a Kurdish problem in Turkey, Hurriyet reports.
Demirtaş called it a "political maneuver" on the eve of upcoming general election in Turkey.
According to opposition Co-Chair, Erdogan and his ruling AKP party are going to adopt a more nationalistic language in order to attract more votes for the parliamentary elections scheduled for June 7.
Commenting on Erdogan's denial of the existence of a Kurdish problem in Turkey, Selahattin Demirtaş particularly noted: "If there is no Kurdish question, why is the peace process still continuing?" asked Demirtaş, speaking to reporters on March 16.
