HDP: Turkey Wants to Form a Buffer Zone in Rojava

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Group Deputy Chairpersons Pervin Buldan and İdris Baluken made a written statement and indicated that Turkey wanted to form a buffer zone in Rojava, a de facto autonomous region in northern and northeastern Syria and today’s operations were carried out against HDP officials and democrat people not Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

“Only way out is to take democratic, constitutional steps quickly, give up regional war policies and plans and form a friendship with Rojava peoples in order to move democratic resolution and peace process forward,” said HDP deputies. 

Headlines from the HDP deputies’ statements:

AKP wants snap election

* Justice and Development Party (AKP) wants snap election by creating chaos and conflict. So they dream about coming to power alone.

* Massacres and attacks of ISIS, a rapist and barbaric organization, are the results of AKP’s wrong Syria policies.

Operations are not against ISIS

* Today’s operations were carried out against democratic opponents not ISIS. Our party officials, hundreds of revolutionist, democrat people were detained during the operations launched in 19 provinces in Turkey.

* We call for AKP once more to give up wrong and dangerous policies. Terminating resolution process, starting conflict inside and outside, forming buffer zones and warmongering make Turkey lose." (NV/BD)
