News Agencies – The chief public prosecutor of Turkey’s Supreme Court of Appeals filed Wednesday a lawsuit for the closure of the pro-PKK Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP).
Bekir Şahin, the chief public prosecutor of the Supreme Court of Appeals, stated in the lawsuit that HDP is an undemocratic party, colludes with the terrorist group PKK and aims to destroy the unity of the people and the state.
The HDP, which has 55 seats in the 600-member parliament, denies any links to the militants.
The U.S. State Department said in a statement a decision to dissolve the HDP “would unduly subvert the will of Turkish voters, further undermine democracy in Turkey, and deny millions of Turkish citizens their chosen representation.”
It can also be observed that some local analysts are trying to contextualize this issue and the time as a continuation of an alliance between MHP party and the President as well as with MHP party congress
