Notes that were understood to be from a meeting between imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan and his lawyers were also taken in hand during the meeting.

Mr. Öcalan reportedly suggested that the following statement - 'The Constitution of the Republic of Turkey accepts that all cultures should be able to express themselves and their existence in a democratic way' - would suffice, instead of any reference to the Kurds in particular.

DTP members decided that the use of the term 'all cultures' instead of 'Kurds' would be sufficient if the proposals that came out of the DTP meeting were taken into consideration while the new constitution is being drafted.
