Turkey's pro-Kurdish party said that President Tayyip Erdogan's ruling alliance had offered no clear steps during closed-door talks on Monday meant to

advance a peace process after Kurdish militants pledged to disarm.



In an interview late on Monday, Gulistan Kilic Kocyigit, the DEM Party's deputy parliamentary group chair, said government officials outlined their stance in broad terms but remained vague on addressing the party's democratic demands.



Her comments followed meetings between DEM, Turkey's third-largest party, met Erdogan's ruling AK Party (AKP) and separately its nationalist ally MHP on Monday.
