Racist attacks have targeted offices of Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) in some cities of Turkey since last night.

EDİRNE

A group of racists attacked the office of HDP Edirne provincial branch at 03:00 last night. Gathering in front of the party office, the group entered the building by breaking the door and damaged all the furniture inside. The group also hanged a Turkish flag outside the building.

BERGAMA

A group of some one thousand assailants attacked the HDP office in Bergama district of İzmir last night at around 03:00. After entering into the building, the group burnt the HDP flags inside and took down the signboard of the party. The group then went to the mainly Kurdish inhabited neighbourhoods in the district and attempted a provocation, while police units remained silent and did not take any action against the racist mob.

ESKİŞEHİR

In another development, a group of racist people accompanied by police attacked the HDP headquarters in Eskişehir, leaving big material damage in the building. The group reportedly attacked the building with stones and sticks, while breaking the door with sledge hammers and plundering the furniture inside.

HDP Eskişehir branch member İzzettin Altın reported that police acted together with the racist group in the attack and added that all the Kurdish people in the province are under threat and similar attacks might continue to take place in the event that serious measures are not taken.
