Resolving political problems by such forcible means as dissolving political parties is fraught with dangerous consequences, Alexander Sungurov, President Center for
Humanities and Political Studies “Strategy”, Saint Petersburg, Russia, told NEWS.am, commenting on the dissolution of the Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) in Turkey.

“If you dislike a people you cannot resolve the problem by annihilating it. Times are different now. It was the practice of the Stalin time, but now civilized nations must find civilized methods of resolving problems,” Sungurov said.

The other day the Turkish Constitutional Court passed a judgment banning the Democratic Society Party, which caused mass actions of protests by the Kurdish population. The DTP representative in the Turkish Parliament left the legislature.
