All ethnic groups in Turkey are equal


All the members of Turkey’s ethnic and religious groups are “first-class citizens,” Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said during Tuesday parliamentary group meetings while also criticizing the country’s main pro-Kurdish party.

“Our country has many ethnic components. We see this as richness. We said we would not practice ethnic, regional or religious nationalism. There are those who mock us, but we see them as sub-identities that unite,” said Erdoğan
