Dezgeha navnetewî “EU Turkey Civic Commission- EUTCC” di beyana xwe de, di bin slogana “Roj roja guhertinan li Tirkiyê ye” konferensa 5:em li ser girêdanên Yekîtiya Ewropayê û Tirkiyê, û pirsa Kurdan, li Parlamentoya Ewropayê / Belçîkayê di 28-29 mehê de organîze dike. Li ser pirsê ji “Mezopotamian Development Society” nûçeya ku gihistiye destê me, beyana EUTCC ê hemêz dike. Beyana bi navê endamên komîteya rêvebir Kariane Westerheim, Kerim Yildiz, Hans Branscheidt ve hatiye belavkirin wisa ye:
“Konferansa navnetewî li ser EU, Tirkiyê û Kurdan – Dem dema guhertinan li Turkiyê ye!
Konferans, li Parlamantoya Ewropayê Brukselê di 28-29 ê Çileya Pasîn 2009 de pêk tê.
Ji 2004 an û vir ve li Parlementoya Ewropayê ji aliyê EUTCC ê her sal konferansek tê organîzekirin. Yek ji wezîfeya EUTCC ê ew e ku, çavdêriya peymanên Turkiyê bi EU re ji bo endametiyê, bike. Armanca EUTCC ew e ku, bi rêya belavkirina zaniyariyê li Ewropayê bibe alîkarê qonaxa endametiya Turkiyê bo EU. Her wisa kêmasiyên hene jî bihêne zimên.
EUTCC dixwaze bi rêya van konferansan bibe alîkar ku Pirsa Kurd bi rêyên demokratîk û asitî bê çareserkirin. Mirov wisa bawer dike ku, çareserî bi alîkariya EU û diyaloga herdu aliyan dikare mûmkun bibe. Ji bo vê jî guhertina qanûnan tenê têr nake. Divê bawerî û hizirkirina civatê li Tirkiyê bê guhertin. Di dîtîna çand û zimanê kurdî weke tehdîtê li hemberî hebûna dewletê ji holê rabe. Di sûna wê de, dewlet, cewaziyên hene li ber çavan bigire, reng û çandên cewaz weke dewlemendiyê bipejirîne. Gavên wisan erênî ji bo pêsketina demokrasiyê weke pêwîstiyek bingehîn bibîne.
Di 5 salên derbasbûyî de reformên li Tirkiyê ji bo baskirina rewsa Kurdan hatiye kirin têr nakin. Di konferansa îsal de, hejmarek kesên pispor û zana mîna Metran, Dr Shirin Ebadi, Bianca Jagger, Noam Chomsky, Yasar Kemal û Leyla Zana dê dîtina xwe li ser guhertinên li Tirkiyê bînine zimên…”
Konferansa îsal ji bo bîranîna dostê Kurdan, nivîskarê nasdar Harold Pinter tê çêkirin. Programa konferansê wisa ye:
