MHP Leader Says HDP Must be Closed Forever following ConCourt Indictment

TURKEY
  • MHP Leader Bahçeli said that the HDP must be closed forever after the Constitutional Court accepted an indictment for dissolving the political party.
  • "It's a good development that the General Assembly accepted the lawsuit filed for the closure of the HDP. The political leg of terrorism should be closed, not to be opened under any name,"
  • Bahceli also criticized CHP leader Kılıçdaroğlu for objecting to any attempt to close a political party.
  • "Kılıçdaroğlu says it is wrong to close a party in democracies, of course, he does. He defends the HDP, shamelessly undressing as the advocate of separatism. The HDP is a shroud cut for Turkish democracy, and it should be closed, and the justice should definitely show its effect on its separatist rulers,"
  • Bahçeli also suggested that the recent attack on the HDP building in the western province of İzmir aimed at "provocation." - Hurryet Daily
