Block deputies meet press in Diyarbakir
The Labor, Democracy and Freedom Block newly elected deputies have met the press in Diyarbakir today.
Commenting the election results, the deputies underlined that "politicians bear a tremendous responsibility. it is not possible to respond to the demands of the people without reading the results correctly and drawing the correct conclusions. In particular the results of provinces of the region is full of lessons to be taken".
Noting that only the Block has increased its vote-rate in the Kurdish territory, the deputies underlined that the AKP has experienced an unexpected decline and decreased in the number of MPs and vote-rates. "This result table - said the deputies - has eliminated the most basic claim of the government and put an end to the discussions on representation. The Kurdish people, rejecting the hegemony of the AKP, has revealed their will on the side of the Labor, Democracy and Freedom Block. Therefore, the strategy of "looking for a solution by eliminating the organized structure of the Kurdish people" is now a thing of the past. Insist on this policy doesn't bring anything in but to drag the country into a chaos".
At the June 12 elections, the Labour, Democracy and Freedom Block's program has been presented to the approval of the people. "Democratic Autonomy, proposed for entire Turkey, - said the deputies - and its social basis Democratic Nation Block have been accepted by the people. The Block components and millions supporting the Block have displayed their attitude against the centralist and oligarchic state system. There is no more possibility for our 74 million citizens to be governed by the state mentality which doesn't bear any social bonds, is deprived of social morality and doesn't base on persons".
In the elections, the Kurdish people called attention to one more important reality. "Gathering under the umbrella of the Democratic Society Congress,- underlined the deputies - BDP, HAKPAR and KADEP and civil society organizations consisting of various Kurdish circles, have received an approval to their efforts for national unity. A message has been given that national liberation passes through unity. The part of Kurdish parties and civil society organizations is to turn the unity into a more permanent and organized constitution through the Kurdish National Conference".
Within a process when balance in the Middle East are upside down with the resistance of the peoples, the Block's deputies underlined that "to be a common voice of the Kurdish people will entitle both Kurds and the peoples in the region. This alliance has also opened the way for Democratic Nation Block and and showed that there is an alternative address of change in Turkey. Including intellectuals, artists the unemployed, laborer, the youth and women, the Block gave a moral support to Turkey's peoples".
The results of this election have also confirmed, stressed the deputies, "the mission of the Labor, Freedom and Democracy Block whose components have already expressed that this constitution will continue after the elections as well. We stand behind our promise. The Block, which received a great support from the people without losing time and was entitled to represent the people at the parliament, should turn into a strong movement which assembles all the democratic forces in Turkey under the same roof. Therefore, the Block components in particular, our MPs and the supporters of the Block bear a tremendous responsibility".
