Ankara, SANA – Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (HDP) in Turkey Selahattin Demirtas said that the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan doesn’t understand the concept of dialogue or reconciliation, and that he has no right to take a unilateral decision to wage an aggression on Syria.
In statements to reporters on Tuesday, Demirtas stressed that the HDP vehemently rejects any aggression on Syria as the Turkish people refuse such acts, adding that Turkey should put an end to the state of schizophrenia and realize that the ISIS is the genuine threat in the region.
A number of political parties and figures accused Erdogan of seeking to wage a military attack on Syria with the aim of preventing the establishment of a coalition government, while media sources reported disputes between Erdogan’s regime and the Turkish army’s command regarding such a step.
It should be noted that U.S. State Department Spokesman John Kirby said recently that the U.S. sees no need for establishing a “buffer zone” in Syria, as Turkish officials have been demanding for months.
Erodgan’s regime failed to achieve an absolute majority in the most recent elections, with his party, the Justice and Development Party (AKP), getting 40.81% of votes, while the Republican People’s Party (CHP) received 23% of the vote. The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) received 16.34%, and the HDP got 13.5%.
