Video) Demirtaş: We Will Submit A Petition To Lift The Parliamentary İmmunity

– HDP (Peoples' Democratic Party) co chair Selahattin Demirtaş vowed that the party members will altogether submit a petition to lift the parliamentary immunity, highlighting the demands and attempts to close the HDP in the tense political scene of Turkey. At the group meeting of his party, Demirtaş said "People opens parties, people closes parties. Today the ones who had voted us the 13 percent might give only 1 percent; we would respect and consider our party closed. However until today, not a single court decision has closed a political party. The decision is yours. Do you ask for 'immunity'? Then with 80 deputy friends of mine, we will submit a petition ourselves to lift them tomorrow. Are you in or out? If you do not fear of anything, let's lift them altogether. Demirtaş also referred to the July 7 election and said "The people have done its part. However a 'Tayyip Erdoğan' coup has been staged to the will of people. Currently, a civil junta governance has clearly seized the government and the state.
