ANKARA (DİHA) - Erdoğan has once again denied the presence of the Kurdish question.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan received mukhtars at his Palace Monday afternoon. Speaking here, Erdoğan has once again denied the presence of the Kurdish question. "Using the 'Kurdish question' concept is an injustice to our Kurdish brothers and sisters. This is discrimination. There are not only Kurds, but also 36 ethnic components in this country", he said. 

Not giving up provoking the peoples against each other, Erdoğan pointed to 6-8 October Kobanê solidarity actions and Gezi Resistance, ignoring the people killed by the state, and arguing that; "Let us not forget how the vehicles and shops of our people, and municipal buses were burnt down and demolished."

Also pointing the HDP as a target, the Turkish President emphasised that they will take no steps until the PKK lays down arms. Erdoğan last week said "There was no Kurdish question", but now he refuted himself and said, "We put on shroud to solve the Kurdish question".
