“The cessation of operations in opposition to the PKK. The withdrawal of Turkish troops from Syria and Iraq. The CHP had already signalled that it was prepared to do that when it voted in parliament in opposition to in sending troops. If you continue to assume: ‘Oh no, the CHP can’t make such a promise’, you might be very improper. … The HDP is aware of very effectively that the Nation Alliance will rely upon it in the event that they win the elections. That is why it’s important for them to topple Erdoğan.”
