Karayilan: We may reconsider boycott decision

Kurdish Democratic Confederation (KCK) president Murat Karayilan said they may reconsider boycott decision against constitutional referendum if ruling AKP takes certain steps in favor of Kurds.

Karayilan said if there were no declaration of ceasefire on PKK’s side, the possible outcome of the constitutional amendments would possibly be rejected on the September 12 referendum.

“It’s clear that Kurdish votes will have a direct impact on the referendum results” he said.

As Kurds are campaigning for boycott Karayilan signaled that the color of Kurdish votes may change.

“If Kurds' demands are met the Kurds and the Kurdish movement will reconsider the boycott decision” Karayilan said.

Karayilan underlined a need for a democratic constitution and said that only a new constitution will help to solve the Kurdish Question.
