The DTK (Democratic Society Congress) delegation led by the co-chair Ahmet Türk has met with the president of the Kurdistan Federal Region, Masoud Barzani. The meeting ended with the agreement to organize a Kurdish National Conference to be held possibly next autumn.

The idea of a National Conference is no new: last year it was proposed to hold one but then various difficulties suggested to postpone the conference. It has been decided that a working commission would be established to prepare the conference.

Tomorrow the DTK delegation will meet the president of the Kurdish parliament, Kemal Kerkükü and will then return to Turkey.

The delegation was led by the DTK co-chair Ahmet Türk and comprised several Kurdish politicians: Þerafettin Elçi, Bayram Bozyel and Hamit Geylani. The delegation has traveled to the Kurdistan Federal Region as it was decided at the DTK's extraordinary meeting last weekend.

Issues such as the latest situation in the region, the solution of the Kurdish problem and organization of a Kurdish conference had been discussed.
