Ahmet Türk (born 2 July 1942 in Derik, Mardin Province, Turkey) is a Kurdish nationalist[1][2][3] politician in Turkey.
He was the chairman of the former pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) in Turkey and was a member of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. On December 11, 2009, the Constitutional Court of Turkey voted to ban the DTP, accusing it of connection with PKK.[4] Türk was expelled from the Grand National Assembly, and 36 other party members were banned from joining any political party for five years.[5]
