HDP’s Mobile Voters Commission sent thousands of voters to their hometowns in Kurdistan so they can vote.
Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) arranged 129 buses in Istanbul Bakirkoy’s neighborhood marketplace so voters who are registered in Kurdistan can vote in the elections to be held tomorrow. Voters registered in Van, Mardin, Amed, Mus and other provinces started to come in the morning, and the buses will continue until the election. Voters dance and chant HDP slogans and election songs as they wait.
The voters are headed home to take back their will confiscated by the trustees, and they are certain they will prevail.
GOING TO TAKE BACK WHAT WAS SEIZED
Istanbul HDP Provincial Organization Co-spokesperson Gonul Karaman said they lost the election by a very slim margin and that they now prioritize cities with appointed trustees. The party issues frequent announcements on social media channels as well.
Karaman said the Mobile Voters Commission has worked meticulously to reach voters to win more municipalities than the ones seized by trustees. Karaman added that there is a spokesperson in every district: “We divided every region into 3 to form commissions. We determined the workers, students and seasonal workers. We issued calls for them to reach out to province and district organizations. We had aimed to reach 3.000 voters, and for now we are sending some 2.000 voters home. Our people had great interest, and great proposals to ‘take back what is ours and say Ya Me Ye’.”
MESSAGES FROM VOTERS
Amine Mari: “I’m from Mardin, and I study in Istanbul. I’m going to Mardin to vote. I am a citizen of this country. The people there need my vote. This is a good project and it is what should be. I support the project as I am an HDP voter.”
Molla Sancar: “I am going to Van. I’m going against the isolation and the trustees, and for my freedom. I am going to take back our municipality. I am a worker here. There is isolation and a trustee in my home town. I have been here for 7 months. My children are back home. I came to make a living, but now I am going to Van for my freedom, for my vote.”
Zeki Cakmaz: “I am from Igdir. We are going to Igdir to give our party another great victory. It is important to vote, for fraternity, for peace, for freedom. I will travel 1600 km. But every vote counts. The pressure is on. Everybody should vote. Everybody should defend their vote.”
Mehmet Huseyin Ipek: “I’m from Gevas, Van. I live in Istanbul now but I’m registered in Van. I’m going to vote so our party can win. We will take Gevas. In the last election our party lost by 6 votes, but this time we will win by 600. I will go back after we win.”
Ridvan Altay: “I am registered in Van, so I’m going so our party will prevail. I’m going for the freedom of my people. My call as a voter is: Everybody should vote.”
Nalan Yildiz: “We are going to Van to vote. I would go anywhere.”
Asya Yildiz: “I will vote for the HDP.”

After the Turkish state raided 127 homes in Istanbul this morning & arrested more HDP representatives, HDP arranged for 129 buses in Istanbul so voters who are registered in Kurdistan (East Turkey) can vote, buses will continue until the election. The resistance against AKP will never end.
Is this where our ComDem voter fraud leads here in the USA? Similar to Special Council Mueller's early morning raids?
Funny, thousands of voters travel to the USA from meth-eek-0 but there’s no outcry. Well at least from the demolibs.
Well, the ComDems only want those who vote for them.
Many legal immigrants are NOT voting for the Leftist freaks in the ComDem party.
They only support the entry of the illegals, who almost all vote for them.
Thanx for Kurdi hit piece
It is not a hit piece. It is the truth.
I’m sorry. I have misunderstood the meaning of “hit piece.” I appreciate getting news about the promise of Kurd freedom from Turkish domination. That oswhat I wanted to say.
OK. I did not understand.
I’ve stongly supported Syrian Kurds since before Kobane.
At times my posts tried the patience of some of my friends here on FR. But many have come to join me in the support. At times I got private messages encouraging me about it.
As I came to understand the struggle better it was easier for me to filter the Truth from the Noise on the web and Twitter.
And I developed relationships in Syria that educated me about the reality there. Those I consider dear friends.
I’m to the right of many of them politically, but that is not really as important when you consider the situation there. Some of that was because there was no other option.
I have mixed feelings about Apo, and certainly toward some of the PKK leadership.
This situation in Turkey and Iran for Kurds makes me very sad. There are no easy or good solutions there.
