Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş, evaluated the statement of KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) related to a ceasefire.
“We understand from the statement of KCK that there should be a mutual ceasefire. Violating military operations should be stopped, otherwise there will be counterattack.
Resolution Process
Selahattin Demirtaş answered the questions of journalists:
“We follow the process. This is the tensest period in two years and a half. We always think that resolution process should resume on.
“However, we are not the ones who say there is no resolution process, no Kurdish problem. The President of Republic of Turkey said that. We don’t decide there is a resolution process and ceasefire or not as HDP.”
Ardahan province
Demirtaş stated that media differently reflected incidents which caused a death of a person in Ardahan province, in the north-east of Turkey.
“We know that mainstream media differently reflected the incident in Ardahan. We will see the reports. Our party members are seeing families in Ardahan.
“There is certain evidence that military forces opened fire firstly. We will share this information.”
İmralı Island
“İmralı is an isolation island in the sea of Marmara. PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan see people in a limited time in visiting days and you call that as ‘negotiation’. It can’t be.
“I suppose Abdullah öcalan will contribute a great deal to the resolution process.
“HDP delegation is not enough. A negation process should start with confidence.”
RTÜK
Demirtaş explained HDP presented Filiz Koçali as candidate for member of Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK).
"As HDP, we present Filiz Koçali who was a senior official and an experienced person in the field of media as candidate for member of RTÜK.” (YY/BD)
