Turkish President and AKP Leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan decided for the parliamentary and presidential elections to take place on June 24. According to observers, Erdoğan seeks to catch the opposition unprepared. He also wants to change the regime from parliamentary to presidential system.

Residents of Kobanê sent a message to the peoples of Turkey and asked them to vote for a bright future.

Firas Qasimlo said that; “They jailed HDP co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş because they fear the HDP. With his politics and his system, Erdoğan wants to blockade the people in all respects. This will deepen the problem in Turkey even more.”

 Ebdulkadir Mihemed remarked that Erdoğan has started a war and caused massacres in the region in order to keep himself in power.

As Erdoğan is speaking of new wars in Syria, experts state that his foreign policy will lead to Turkey end up in even deeper troubles.

Another Kobanê resident Yaşer Mihemed stated that; “The reason for early elections is the fact that Erdoğan wants to continue his fascist ruling and human rights violations in Kurdistan.”

Calling on the peoples of Turkey to not vote for Erdoğan, Mihemed stressed that a victory by Erdoğan in June 24 elections will be a great danger for the Kurds and other peoples of the region.
