Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan held talks with a Kurdish lawmaker in the meeting Saturday evening to try and resolve a decades-old separatist conflict.

No statement was issued to the press after the one-and-a-half hour meeting which followed Leyla Zana's comments in a recent newspaper interview praising Erdogan as the head of the strongest government in Turkey's history.

Zana told daily Hurriyet early this month that with the political will, Erdogan had the power to solve the Kurdish problem.

In the end of meeting, PM Erdogan told that we expect in the peace and brotherhood project, you use all your power.
