Turkey Desk – The Conference of Democratic Kurdish Jurists in Diyarbakır concluded by issuing a final statement calling for the recognition of Abdullah Ocalan’s legal status within the "peace and democratic society" process. The statement emphasized that the process's success requires the drafting of a "framework law," the guarantee of Kurdish linguistic and cultural rights, an end to the policy of appointing state officials to replace elected mayors, and the implementation of transitional justice mechanisms.
