Labor, Democracy and Freedom Block held one of its biggest election meetings in Van. Speaking to people here, Van Independent MP Candidate Aysel Tugluk called to the Prime Minister and demanded a solution to the Kurdish problem through democratic ways. Tugluk said; “If you don’t figure this problem out, this people will figure you out”.

TUGLUK: THE ONLY DEMAND IS TO LIVE IN PEACE ON A COMMON LAND

Tugluk began her speech as follows; “Greetings to my people who are seeking for freedom like a human looking for water and who are walking towards Democratic Autonomy”.

Expressing that the Kurdish problem has to come up with a solution now, Tugluk added that the people will create their own solution if the government doesn’t develop a solution. Noting that they never support separation, Tugluk continued as follows; “Our only demand is to live freely on a common land. So then, stop the bleed, do not shed blood and release the politicians whom you put in jails through your political slaughters. Show respect to the Leader of this people. Improve the conditions for a solution. Lower the ten percent election threshold and remove the obstacles before native language. Stop treating Kurds with contempt and despising them. Let’s enact a democratic constitution together. Mr. Erdogan, you are not implementing a legitimate war. And as your war is not legitimate, your Presidency is not valid either. We don’t consider it rightful.”
