Representatives from 640 nongovernmental organizations in the country's east and southeast who came together in Diyarbakır on Sunday have voiced concerns that the interim Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government's policies are taking the country back to the gruesome days of the 1990s.Delivering.

Representatives from 640 nongovernmental organizations in the country's east and southeast who came together in Diyarbakır on Sunday have voiced concerns that the interim Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government's policies are taking the country back to the gruesome days of the 1990s.

Delivering a press statement in Sümerpark in the Yenişehir district of Diyarbakır, the NGO representatives said they are concerned about the recent resumption of clashes between Turkish security forces and the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

Turkey has seen an escalation of PKK violence recently, prompting the Turkish military to launch an operation against PKK targets in northern Iraq after a more than two-year-long cease-fire that was announced as part of a government-backed settlement process with the PKK launched in late 2012.

The NGO representatives said remarks by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan saying that he does not accept the blueprint for a resolution of Turkey's decades-old Kurdish issue, known as the “Dolmabahçe consensus,” and the isolation suffered by jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan have brought an official end to the settlement process.

The Dolmabahçe consensus refers to planned measures that were part of a declaration read out by Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) deputy Sırrı Süreyya Önder after talks with Deputy Prime Minister Yalçın Akdoğan and then-Interior Minister Efkan Ala at İstanbul's Ottoman-era Dolmabahçe Palace on Feb. 28, 2014.

Erdoğan, who is said to have had full information about the details of the meeting, later directed surprise criticism at the meeting, putting the planned measures on hold.

The NGO representatives' statement said the result of the June 7 general election should be examined, adding that a snap vote that will be held will have negative consequences on the stability and peace of the country.
“We are concerned that the government's insistence on mistaken policies will take the country to the gruesome days of the 1990s,” said the NGOs, noting that both the Turkish military and the PKK should end clashes immediately to prevent further loss of life.

During the 1990s, Turkey saw many unsolved murders and increased acts of violence in the country, leading to the deaths of thousands of people.
