Leader of a Russian opposition party congratulates the People’s Democratic Party with entering the Turkish Parliament
Dear Mr. Selahattin Demirtaş,
Dear Ms. Figen Yüksekdağ,
I am pleased to congratulate the Peoples’ Democratic Party protecting the rights of the Kurds with entering the Turkish parliament!
Yet there has remained global injustice towards the Kurds, the most numerous people deprived of their statehood. Inhuman living conditions were created for Kurds humiliating their national dignity, moreover the people lacks even a minimum autonomy.
The fact that a party defending Kurds’ rights entered Turkey’s parliament represents a major step on the road towards smoothing out this injustice. It is the legal political struggle for the rights and liberties, which will lead to broadening of the Kurdish autonomy and respect of the rights of the people.
The fact that the party passed into the parliament means that the Turkish society is finally ready to discussing and seeking solutions for the injustice where Kurds have had to live in for so many years.
I am wishing you success in your future political activities!
Sincerely yours,
Sergei Mitrokhin,
Chair of the YABLOKO party
