The Peoples’ Democratic Party is organizing a two-track democracy march to Ankara, beginning from the western province of Edirne and the southeastern province of Hakkari, in response to the revocation of the parliamentary status of HDP MPs Leyla Güven and Musa Farisoğulları and the Erdoğan-AKP regime's continuing crackdown on our party and the opposition in general.

As part of a broader campaign titled “The Democratic Struggle Program”, this march aims to meet with different sections of society and deliver their demands to Ankara. The march will start on June 15 from Hakkari and Edirne and end in Ankara on June 20.

During the march, there will be meetings with NGOs, voters and friends and comrades in the struggle for democracy.

Details for the first day are as follows:

Edirne delegation: HDP co-chair Pervin Buldan, party assembly and central executive board members, members of women- and youth-assemblies and MPs will hold a press statement in front of Edirne Prison.

Time: 13:00
