CHP Istanbul MP Eren Erdem has divulged that while he was visiting HDP Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş in Edirne, the latter had told him, “I knew fifteen days in advance that I would be detained. I told my child how to act when they came. I could have gone abroad, but I’ll go to jail in my country rather than be in foreign climes.”

The CHP’s Eren Erdem, Fikri Sağlar, Orhan Sarıbal and Ali Şeker visited HDP Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş and Mardin Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ahmet Türk in Edirne Prison. Erdem, noting that the cause of greatest concern to Demirtaş was the obstructing of legislative activity, said the latter had told him, “I am draftıng parliamentary motions but they are being rejected. The authority to do this does not rest with the prison governor, but with the Speaker of Parliament.” Erdem passed on the prison governor’s comment concerning allegations that Demirtaş was in solitary confinement, “We have taken Demirtaş into a special area to prevent him being targeted in provocations.”

From the account given by Erdem, Ahmet Türk made the following comment: “It is enough for peace to come to my country. If they want, let them hang me in Taksim. I am happy to place my signature beneath that. It is enough for the bloodshed to stop. I am prepared to do anything.”
