KCK Executive Council Co-president Cemil Bayık said the HDP and the democratic forces united under its umbrella are the only force that can transcend the current logjam in the Turkish regime.

Cemil Bayık said that in the event the HDP succeeds in entering parliament it will change the destiny of Turkey. He added that the Alevi community that had been forcibly displaced would be able to return to its ancestral lands.

Bayık said that the HDP would carry out a democratic revolution and create a democratic, free society. Cemil Bayık addressed the people of the Southwest [of Kurdistan] prior to the 7 June elections.

They must ensure the HDP is represented in parliament

"I greet the people of the southwest. Only the HDP and the democratic forces united under its umbrella can transcend the current logjam in the Turkish regime. Democratic forces therefore have a critical role to play."

Bayık added that it was not just a matter of working to exceed the threshold. He said that to target a more impressive result would ensure the HDP was not foiled by electoral chicanery.

HDP will determine the destiny of Turkey

Bayık said the upcoming elections are no ordinary elections, and that if the HDP entered parliament it would change the future of Turkey. He added that the forced displacement of people had resulted in the region being depopulated and the people migrating to the big cities and to Europe.

He said the Alevi community in particular had been affected by this forced exile and that it was therefore important that the HDP succeed.

The democratic nation will take root here

Cemil Bayık said that this region was a multi-cultural one where people of different faiths coexisted, adding that it was one with the potential to develop the democratic nation.

Electoral success for the HDP will develop a democratic Turkey

Cemil Bayık said that only success for the HDP would ensure democratic developments. He said that for this reason the people of Adıyaman, Maraş, Malatya, Sivas and Antep, in particular the Kurds, Alevis, women, young people and workers should work to ensure the electoral success of the HDP. He added that the HDP would clear the logjam of the Turkish regime.

He said success for the HDP would bring about a democratic revolution and a new free society and therefore called on the people to work day and night on the election campaign to ensure a positive outcome.
