WISE MAN RESIGNS FROM POST OVER TURKISH PM'S STANCE DURING GEZI PARK PROTESTS
11:52 â~@¢ 25.06.13
Academic and columnist Murat Belge has announced his resignation from
the Wise Persons' Committee, which had been formed by the Turkish
government to assist the country's bid to find a peaceful solution
to the Kurdish issue, The Hurriyet Daily News reports.
Belge, who was a member of the southeastern region committee, said
the atmosphere created by the government with the Gezi Park unrest
in Turkey was not appropriate to finding peace and he would not
attend Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's meeting with
the 60-member committee on June 26.
Belge announced his resignation in his column today in daily Taraf,
saying the choice of words and language of the prime minister during
the unrest in the country since May 31 was a "personal insult" to
him as well.
"Like all those Gezi things did not happen, like all those insults
were not said [by the prime minister] I found it meaningless and also
impossible to speak about peace," he said.
