HDP Leader Demirtaş: Peace Was One Move Ahead

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş reviewed air operations carried out by Turkish Armed Forces against PKK and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in northern Iraq:

 “The interim government is warmongering now. We knew they would do mad things to be permanent with panic, we see it for the moment. Government of Justice and Development Party (AKP) has come to a total deadlock. They try to come to power alone with great panic.

 “Each person you cause his death is our fellows. We share the grief without looking at their uniforms or political opinions. We won’t let our sons be killed in order to cover your dirt. Moreover, a corrupted interim government cannot call HDP to account.

 “We have nothing to lose. We don’t have billions or protocol cars to lose.  We are plain and we will be plain. You think your own fate. Interment flags cannot cover your sins. Fortunately, Turkey has HDP. The ones who see themselves as the master of the country while target HDP as the traitor should look at their own crimes.

 “We will struggle against AKP not to come power alone due to a snap election.

 “Peace was just one move ahead. These operations are carried out in favor of the government. The death of young people unsettles us.

 “Peoples open or close political parties. Fascist persons try to actualize a fascist policy. We have nothing to fear. If we had had, we wouldn’t have been in the parliament. People who lick AKP’s boots should be questioned.” (ÇT/BD)
