Do not touch last year’s election

DEHAP didn’t commit fraud on the results of the last elections, or at least there’s no evidence that the results were illegally altered. The proper official institutions prepared the country for the elections and decided which parties were eligible. Moreover, citing insufficient evidence, these institutions had previously rejected a claim that DEHAP was ineligible to take part in the elections. The nation’s will was revealed under these circumstances!

Those calling for the annulment of last fall’s elections are effectively mocking the nation’s will. Nobody can render these results invalid. Why was the claim of fraud rejected before the elections but re-introduced now? Why did the Supreme Court make its decision so quickly, in fact breaking a record in the process?

If the Supreme Board of Elections (YSK) ends up invalidating elections held under its watch and approval, it will lose both esteem and credibility. The board shouldn’t become an tool of circles unable to stomach the AKP’s [ruling Justice and Development Party] victory. However, if the YSK is determined to do so, it should call new elections. Nobody has the authority to redistribute Parliament seats among people who were never elected.

If the True Path Party becomes eligible for new Parliament seats thanks to the DEHAP votes, this would be the gravest insult to our national will. Besides, let’s not forget that our Kurdish citizens couldn’t manage to get DEHAP any seats in Parliament due to the 10% threshold, even though in certain provinces the party won about 50% of the votes.

Nobody has the right to change the results of the parliamentary elections! Nobody has the right to mock the national will!”
