You yourself reported recently that Turkey has become the worst offender in the world in terms of jailing journalists.

And over the last month or so over 900 political activists from BDP have been taken into detention by the Turkish police.

I would love to join in your optimism of unity and peace but the facts defy that reality.

Especially for the Kurds!
