ANF, DERSIM — The “democratic liberation and solution tent” at Seyid Riza Square in Dersim has been visited by BDP (Peace and Democracy Party) Amed (Diyarbakir) deputy Emine Ayna and members of the Women’s Council of Mersin’s Akdeniz Municipality.
Speaking at a public meeting in the area, BDP deputy Ayna said that they wanted HPG (People’s Defense Forces) guerrillas to take part in democratic politics in the country. Ayna pointed out that the ongoing construction of new military posts in the Kurdish region was the Turkish state’s message that the war in the country is still going on.
Ayna underlined that the maintenance of the monist mentality wouldn’t allow a step progress to be made in the currently ongoing process of talks in search of a democratic and peaceful solution to the Kurdish question. She said that, “Kurdish guerrillas took up arms because of the fact that the Turkish state has been governed by a monist mentality so far. There is an obvious need to work on a new law draft which must include all peoples in the new constitution to be prepared. If there has been any development in terms of democracy in the country today, it has taken place thanks to the struggle made by Kurds and all other resisting peoples”.
Ayna added that Seyid Riza, whose statue is erected in the area, must be proud of the people following him today.
