Ak Party Deputy Head Describes Opposition Figure's Statements On Terrorism As "positive"

ANKARA - Deputy leader of Turkey`s ruling party said statements by an opposition figure, who said that the terrorist organization`s "armed acts did harm to the Kurdish people," were "positive."
"We have been hearing such statements for quite sometime now and I think it is a very positive approach, which would hopefully help end the problem," Necati Cetinkaya, deputy chairman of the Justice and Development (AK) Party, told reporters after a meeting on Thursday with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Ahmet Turk, chairman of Democratic Society Party`s parliamentary group, has said that "PKK`s armed struggle did harm to the Kurdish people," in an interview posted on the web-site of the Iraqi Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.
"Members of the political movements of that region need to acknowledge the desire for a peaceful co-existence. We have yet to see any steps that we wished to see concerning terrorism," Sami Guclu, another AK Party official, said.
