Opposition parties in Turkey have delayed the government's announcement of its plan to end a conflict in the mainly Kurdish south-east.
Interior Minister Besir Atalay ran out of time to present the measures in parliament as nationalist MPs jeered, the BBC reported.
The plans are thought to include some Kurdish language education, restoring Kurdish place names and more freedom to use Kurdish in election campaigns.
The announcement is now expected on Thursday.
