DUA:
I make Dua for all people of Turkey to be safe, protected and have the best of success in this world and the next (Ameen).
Halkların Demokratik Partisi (HDP):
This is a left leaning Socialist (Secular Party) which is Pro-Kurds and accuses Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of being Pro-ISIS. It is also Anti-Nuclear Power, Pro LGBT and its stance is Anti-Islamic in many respects.
It has been fairly steady in Turkey, not really getting anywhere UNTIL IslamicState (possibly) gets into the act, watch what happens next!
Now observe what happens next...

Sep-October 2014 Kurdish riots in Turkey:
This was building up in Turkey for a while with a flow of Migrants from Syria
2014 Kurdish riots in Turkey refer to massive violent protests by Kurds in Turkey in autumn 2014, as a spillover of the crisis in Kobanî. Massive pro-Kobanî demonstrations unfolded in Turkey and quickly turned violent between protesters and the Turkish police. Several military incidents between Turkish forces and PKK militants in south-eastern Turkey, resulting in several mortal casualties, contributed to the escalation. Protests then spread to various cities in Turkey. Protesters were met with tear gas and water cannons, and initially 12 people were killed. A total of 31 people were killed in subsequent rioting up to 14 October.

Questions?
- You can clearly see a spike in their support whenever they are attacked, so why would Recep Tayyip Erdoğan or his party do that?
- Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Turkish Nationalists are both Pro-Islam, again why would anyone who is Pro-Islam do such a dumb thing and keep spiking a party which has relatively little (support) in Turkey? Their support means eroding of support for Islam
- Turkey has no history of such electoral violence until ISIS got involved in the picture and then you repeatedly see this violence against Halkların Demokratik Partisi (HDP) or its allies and the flashpoint is always the Kurds!
