HDP and CHP Leaders Come Together

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Co-Chairs Figen Yüksekdağ and Selahattin Demirtaş and Republican People’s Party (CHP) Leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu came together.

Demirtaş: Dialogue opportunities should be kept open

Demirtaş explained the journalists after the meeting:

“I hope all politicians will be brave enough to keep dialogue opportunities open. We are humans and we are traumatized by the recent events. If we don’t solve the problems, we shouldn’t walk around as ‘politicians’. Prime Minister’s blaming behaviors created a huge political gap, but Kılıçdaroğlu behaved maturely, something that I appreciate.

“There is a state structure protecting ISIS”

 “Investigation prosecutor had informed us the perpetrators –suicide bombers- of Ankara bombing were linked to Diyarbakır and Suruç explosions.

All of them will be revealed, to whom they were linked to, by whom they were supported and so on. And of course, related politicians will be revealed.

There is a strong structure among the state protecting Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). They have solid connections.

“How did they go to Syria?”

“Davutoğlu’s speech, “The state has no security gap” makes us worried. How could he say the state is as pure as the driven snow even if the investigation isn’t over yet? As a Prime Minister, you don’t know the state is involved or not.

“We seriously believe that this case won’t be revealed totally. They may have come from Syria but how did they go to Syria?  Who are responsible from these events?

Kılıçdaroğlu: Why did people die if there isn’t security gap?

CH Leader Kılıçdaroğlu:

“We side with togetherness, not separation. This meeting was important. I wish all political parties make these kinds of visits. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu’s latest statements are ridden with contradictions. I am really worried about him. He is overwhelmed with the tension of the events. Why did people die if there isn’t a security gap?” (AS/BD)
