Kurdish Groups Call for Autonomy in Southeastern Turkey

 As heavy fighting continues, Kurdish groups in southeastern Turkey are calling for self-rule.

The decision was made after the summit of the Democratic People’s Congress (DTK), a coalition of non-governmental Kurdish groups.

The army is pushing ahead with a security operation in which it says more than 200 Kurdish militants have been killed, Euronews reports.

"To form a democratic autonomous region including one or several neighbouring provinces, one needs to take into account their cultural, economic and geographic affinities," said the Leader of Kurdish Democratic People’s Congress Hatip Dicle.

The final resolution of the meeting calls for the formation of autonomous Kurdish regions, including several neighbouring provinces.
