Diyarbakýr MP Nursel Aydoðan has visited the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) Ömerli Branch. She said that the ruling Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) hostile policy against BDP is most visible in Mardin, where all of the elected BDP chairs are in jail.

Pointing out that the AKP’s policy as a policy of political criminalization, Aydoðan said that “The co-chair is jailed. All City Council members and party city assembly members are jailed. Some municipalities risk collapsing because of the arrests. All this proves that a special policy is carried out in Mardin”.
