Kurdish politicians such as Ahmet Türk and Aysel Tuğluk, who currently jointly head the Democratic Society Congress (DTK), a civil society platform that is an unofficial continuation of the now defunct Democratic Society Party (DTP), the predecessor of the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), and the BDP's Selahattin Demirtaş and Gültan Kışanak met in İstanbul last week with Massoud Barzani, head of Iraq's Kurdish autonomous region, where the PKK has made a home to launch attacks into Turkey.
