A group of Istanbul-Armenian women have expressed a unique support to
Selahattin Demirtas, whom Turkey's Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP)
has nominated as presidential candidate in Turkey's forthcoming
presidential election.
Demirtas met with voters in Sisli district, reported the Milliyet
daily of Turkey.
In his remarks, the Kurdish politician criticized the Turkish
authorities for violating the women's rights.
"It's time for women to come to power," Demirtas specifically said.
Following these words, a group of women in the hall opened a sign
that read: ""Dear Selo [Selahattin], we're with you!"
And it was written "Progressive Armenian Women" under the sign.
Demirtas, who is Chairman of Turkey's pro-Kurdish "Peace and Democracy
Party" (BDP), has repeatedly condemned the Armenian Genocide and
insisted that Turkey should recognize it.
