[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Recep Tayyip Erdogan is Neutral . Turkey's plans to expand the rights of its Kurdish community will falter if separatist rebels do not surrender  Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in comments published Friday.
 His warning came amid widespread criticism of the government's alleged lenient treatment of a group of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) rebels who walked free shortly after crossing into Turkey from Iraq on Monday.
 In comments published in several newspapers  Erdogan warned that public discomfort over the hero's welcome given to the rebels could hamper government plans to grant the Kurdish community more rights.
 "This could negatively affect the process... We would not want it  but it could throw us right back where we started " he said.
 He underlined that the refrom process would continue smoothly if PKK rebels abandoned their armed campaign and turned themselves in.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitch McConnell is Positive . Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)  told Senate Republicans to be ready to work through the Thanksgiving break  which serves as a recognition that  McConnell  needs to pass the presidentâs agenda or  he  may soon lose  his  job as Majority Leader.
 Mitch McConnell  finally cracked under pressure last week from conservatives and populists and decided to extend the Senateâs workweek into Fridays and even possibly the weekend to pass the presidentâs agenda. Senate Republicans then wrote to  McConnell  that having the Senate stay open on Fridays and possibly the weekends is not good enough; Republicans urged the Senate Majority Leader to âturn the Senate on full time  24/7 to advance the presidentâs agenda.â
Breitbart News reported that under Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell  the Senate remains in session roughly 2.5 days per week.
To pass the presidentâs agenda   McConnell  told Senate Republicans this week that the chamber could stay in session the weekend before the week of Thanksgiving and the week of Thanksgiving  according to two senior GOP sources.
 McConnell  said  âPresident Trump should be commended for his strong judicial picks. The Senate is going to keep working hard to confirm them. And weâre going to succeed.â
 McConnell âs extension of the Senate workweek and work into Thanksgiving serves as a recognition that he needs to perform or else  McConnell  may lose his job. Many conservatives and populists argue that  McConnell  has failed to carry out the presidentâs agenda and subsequently called on him to resign.
 McConnell âs leadership continues to flounder; a recent poll revealed that 56 percent of Republicans want  Mitch McConnell  to resign. Many Senate Republican candidates revealed that they are reluctant to back  McConnell  for Majority Leader. Even Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley  whom McConnellâs team labeled as their ânumber one recruit â refused to say whether he will endorse  McConnell .
Former Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) told Fox News recently that he does not âknow what the case is to keepâ  Mitch McConnell  as Senate majority leader.
Establishment Republicans  including  McConnell   continue to fret over Breitbart News Executive Chairman and former White House Chief Strategist Steve â who is lining up a series of primary challenges in 2018 to lawmakers he sees as hurting President Trumpâs agenda. According to Axios  Bannon is planning to back primary challengers against every incumbent Republican senator running for re-election in 2018  except Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Bannon recently told Fox Newsâ Sean Hannity  âNobodyâs safe  weâre coming after all of them.â

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity David Shulkin is Neutral . In a letter to U.S. Rep. Tim Walz (D-Minn.)   Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin  said VA’s ability to research medical marijuana is hampered by the fact that the drug is illegal federally.  Shulkin ’s letter came in response to an inquiry by 10 Democrats on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee. The letter asks  Shulkin  to commit the VA to investigating whether medical marijuana can help veterans suffering from PTSD and chronic pain and identify barriers to doing so.
“VA is committed to researching and developing effective ways to help Veterans cope with post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain conditions ”  Shulkin  wrote in a response to the members of Congress. “However  federal law restricts VA’s ability to conduct research involving medical marijuana  or to refer veterans to such projects.”
“VA’s response not only failed to answer our simple question  but they made a disheartening attempt to mislead me  my colleagues and the veteran community in the process” by stating that the VA is restricted from conducting marijuana research. Walz  a veteran  said he plans to send another letter to  Shulkin  asking for further clarification.
A spokesman for  Shulkin  pointed to the secretary’s past comments on medical marijuana.  Shulkin  said in May  “My opinion is  is that some of the states that have put in appropriate controls  there may be some evidence that this is beginning to be helpful. And we’re interested in looking at that and learning from that. But until the time that federal law changes  we are not able … to prescribe medical marijuana for conditions that may be helpful.”
 Shulkin  said VA is offering a suite of alternative treatments for patients with PTSD  including yoga  meditation  acupuncture and hypnosis. The letter also said VA has a program to reduce the amount of opioids prescribed to patients with chronic pain; since 2013   Shulkin  wrote  33 percent fewer patients were receiving opioids.
