HDP outlines plans to end ‘institutionalised tyranny’ in Turkey

TURKEY’s opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) vowed to  end “institutionalised tyranny” in the fight for peace, democracy and justice as it unveiled its election strategy in the capital Ankara today.

The HDP is standing on a progressive platform, seeking to counter the dictatorial regime of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and aiming to bring an end to Turkey’s wars and occupation and a democratic solution to the so-called Kurdish question.

This, the party said, is “the most deeply rooted issue Turkey needs to resolve,” calling on parliament to lay the foundations for dialogue through negotiations.
