The United States has warned Ankara: a ban on Turkey’s main pro-Kurdish party would “undermine” the country’s already fragile democracy. “In a statement, the US State Department said that” the attempt to dissolve the People’s Democratic Party (HDP ) “, is” a move that would have unduly subverted the will of Turkish voters, further undermined democracy in Turkey and deprived millions of Turkish citizens of their elected representatives “.
“We ask the Turkish government to respect freedom of expression according to the protections guaranteed by the Turkish constitution and Turkey’s international commitments,” insisted US diplomatic spokesman Ned Price.
