Six political parties have issued a joint statement condemning the provocation against the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) in Ankara.

The Labor Party (EMEP), Labor Movement Party (EHP), People's Houses, Socialist Assemblies Federation (SMF), Turkey Workers Party (TİP) and Social Freedom Party (TOP) in a statement titled "There is no room for provocation!" said that the HDP is not alone.

The joint statement reads as follows:

"Without any respect for the great anger of the people pushed into poverty, the AKP government once again engaged in provocations and bullying targeting Kurds, women and HDP. We warn the government. End this dangerous attitude immediately. These actions will not save you.

The HDP Headquarters was the scene of a provocative action on Thursday. The action against the party’s office in Ankara was ordered by the AKP's Minister of Interior, who used the police. HDP members, their lawyers and administrators, who made an effort not to be a part of the provocation and to frustrate the initiative, were brutally attacked and detained. HDP Women's Assembly Spokesperson and Batman MP Ayşe Acar Başaran was threatened to death by a person who was said to be a police officer.

We experienced a similar provocation in Izmir. Our comrade Deniz Poyraz was killed in the Izmir HDP provincial building as a result of such a provocation. This time we will not allow this. Having won the vote and support of millions of our citizens, we reiterate that the HDP is not alone. We support peace and brotherhood.

We warn the government to end this provocation. The detained HDP members, administrators and lawyers should be released immediately. The police blockade in front of HDP Headquarters should be lifted immediately. An investigation should be initiated immediately against the person who threatened Batman MP Ayşe Acar Başaran. Down with fascism. Long live peace, long live brotherhood!”
