Bengi Yildiz is a lawyer by training, graduating from Istanbul University Law Faculty, and has worked as a journalist for the newspapers Gündem, Demokrasi, Ülkeden Özgür Gündem.[1]
On 25 July 2011 he declared that Kurds under the control of PKK/BDP would stop paying taxes to the Turkish government.[4] He suggested that PKK/BDP would form a Libyan Jumhuriya type of structure whereby in every neighborhood and city the PKK/BDP supported Kurds would locally organize and abolish political parties to create a "self-determined democratic" autonomy. He furthermore suggested that although PKK/BDP supported Kurds want to be exempt from taxes it is still the responsibility of the Turkish Republic to invest in their infrastructure, roads, schools and pay for their public servants.[5]
During his term as MP, he was an outspoken supporter of speaking the Kurdish language.[6] This drew criticism from Turkish Parliament Speaker Mehmet Ali Sahin from the Justice and Development Party (AKP), reminding him that to speak Kurdish was not allowed according to Article 81 of the Political Parties Law.[7]
