HDP's Temelli: We will explain Öcalan

HDP co-chair Sezai Temelli spoke at an election rally in the borough of Küçükçekmece in Istanbul.

Speaking in Küçükçekmece, HDP co-chair Sezai Temeli said: "We are the party of hope. The Kurdish people will continue on their path they have taken with strength and honour. We invite all peoples of Turkey to join us in this struggle."

Temelli addressed the crodw and said: "Mr. Öcalan's letters met everyone. Does anyone read this? They do. Do they understand it? No, they haven't reached that level yet. But we'il explain to them. We will insistently explain Öcalan. Look, we call on everyone to talk to Öcalan. Because the main issue of this country is the Kurdish issue. It is not possible to solve our other issues without solving this issue first." 

Temelli added: "If you want to solve the Kurdish issue, if you want to build social peace in this country and build peace in Syria, talk to Öcalan. Talk to the interlocutor of this matter. This is the responsibility of democratic politics. We must work together to fulfill this requirement."

The HDP co-chair insisted: "Öcalan talks about some very important issues in his last message. He talks about the need for a compromise for a democratic constitution. We say that Turkey needs a democratic constitution today. We had successive elections. On June 23, we will have another important election. We will also declare our will against the sinlge mentality approach for a democratic constitution by reflecting our will in the ballot box."
