Message of democratic forces of Turkey: ‘We are going to resist against the Sultanate’

Following the latest developments with regards to operation on People’s Democratic Party (HDP), leftist political parties and institutions have released statements warning about the ongoing ‘coup of the Presidential Palace’ and called on all democratic forces to unite.

HAZİRAN Movement: ‘Turkey has now entered into a completely different stage'

“Turkey is rolling down a dark cliff! A coup is being carried out by the Presidential Palace in the name of countering the July 15 coup attempt. As of November 4th, even the ‘so-called democracy’ has been called off: with the detention of HDP co-chairs Figen Yüksekdağ and Selahattin Demirtaş, along with several HDP MPs, through police raids at their houses, Turkey has now entered into a completely different stage. The end of this ‘advanced democracy’ rubbish is the declaration of ‘advanced fascism.’ This is a virtual coup! And, resistance in the face of coups is legitimate and a right! We are not going to give way to a Sultanate!”

Freedom and Solidarity Party (ÖDP): 'People of Turkey will eventually bring AKP regime to an end'

“Turkey is faced tonight (November 5) with the coup of the Presidential Palace which has reached yet another form. It is observed that Erdoğan, in cooperation with Bahçeli (MHP’s Chair), is leading the country into chaos for the sake of presidential system. We are going to fight against the efforts of establishing a presidential system under a dictatorship without a Constitution and without a Parliament and by trying to oppress the opposition forces. The people of Turkey will eventually bring the AKP-Presidential Palace regime, which is headed to put the country in dissolution and collapse, to an end!”

Labor Party (EMEP): 'Detentions are a proof of collapse of democracy'

“The detention of Diyarbakır’s co-mayors initially and the detention of HDP co-chairs and several MPs afterwards is a proof that there is not much left in the name of democracy in our country. This must stop; the ruling bodies must give up imposing injustice and unlawfulness on people!”

Communist Party (KP): 'AKP has no way out of this'

“In the essence of this aggression of AKP lies the fact that it has no other choice left but to oppress all parts of the society. This is an overall sinking! It is seen that AKP has the power to attack, for now. However, AKP is doing all this not because it has the power but because it is doomed to use force. There is no way out of this (for AKP)!”

Halkevleri (Public Houses): 'We call on all democratic forces to unite'

“AKP is trying to seize power over all opposition forces and the country through fascism. Those who think that they can keep holding on to their power through fascism and dictatorship believe that they will also be able to bring about a presidential system by oppressing all forces that do not obey. We call on everyone who is for democracy, secularism, equality, freedoms, and peace - and against fascism – to join the resistance side by side.”
