Ahmet Şık: If we succumb to defeatism, we’ll lose

Ahmet Şık, who according to the unofficial results has been elected as an Istanbul MP for the HDP, made the following statement in front of Beşiktaş Sub-Provincial Electoral Board:

 This is just the beginning. None of us will succumb to defeatism. If we succumb to defeatism, this is precisely when we will lose. We are faced by fascism and a mafia. If we succumb to defeatism, this is precisely when we will lose. We will lose in a place where we do not resist.
