Labor, Democracy and Freedom Block has announced that they will continue to boycott the parliament and hold the group meetings each week in Diyarbakir until the problem of six detained deputies is resolved.

Making a statement to the press on behalf of block deputies after the meeting at Diyarbakýr Cigerxwin Youth Cultural Center, Siirt MP and former BDP Co-Chair Gültan Kýþanak has repeated the Labor, Democracy and Freedom Block's decision to boycott the parliament.

Kýþanak, remarking that they are aware of their duties and responsibilities, criticized that the political power doesn't take any concrete steps towards a solution.

Kýþanak underlined that the YSK's decision to strip off Dicle of his legal mandate and not to release five deputies who are detained under the "KCK case" is a political coup against the solution opportunities, noting that they will continue their struggle in an active way until a solution is found to the current problems.

Kýþanak said; "We will hold our group meetings in Amed/Diyarbakýr every week and we will perform an organized and programmed struggle." Emphasizing that the attitute of block deputies should be understood correctly, Kýþanak added; "We demand the opening of the way to the process of a democratic solution and a democratic constitution. The Parliament is the address and the political actors are the addressees of the solution. The Prime Minister and the AKP are the primary responsible for a solution to the problem."
