Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday dismissed calls from close allies to release a leading Kurdish opposition politician from jail.
Rights activists, Western powers and some opposition parties have all urged the release of Selahattin Demirtas and Osman Kavala, both arrested in the wake of an attempted coup in 2016.
They were joined on Thursday by former deputy prime minister Bulent Arinc, now on the presidency’s High Advisory Board.
“Even though we have worked together in the past, no one’s personal comments can be linked to the president, our government or the party,” Erdogan said in a speech to party members.
