While thousand of people have assembled outside the BDP (Peace and Democracy Party) main office in Diyarbakir in support to newly elected MP Hatip Dicle, the Election Board (YSK) has asked for the defense memoir to be presented by Hatip Dicle within 7 days. The Board has to decide whether to allow Dicle to go into parliament or to strip him of this right because of a previous conviction for "propaganda for the PKK".
