Kurd
leaders want their talks on a plan for negotiations
with Turkey to take place in Bergen. The plan is to
gather Kurd actors in Turkey to negotiate a strategy
in the struggle for independence.
The initiative to arrange the conference, in which
the forbidden Kurd Labour Party, PKK, wants to take
part, is taken by the human rights group the
Rafto
foundation.
The initiative has been met with enthusiasm by Kurd
leaders and organisations in Turkey, and the
expectations are high, say Karianne Westerheim and
Henriette Sinding Aasen from the Rafto foundation.
Sinding Aasen, leader of the foundation, says PKK is
an obvious participant at the meeting.
Anne Grethe Strøm Eriksen, mayor of Bergen, is
encouraged by the fact that the conference is taking
place in Bergen.
