    Pro-government paper today accuses of supporting terrorism, asking if its new mayor of Istanbul is happy after 4 soldiers were killed by PKK. Daily incitement & vitriol spewed out in government mouthpieces and then vigilante attacks. Not hard to see the link.

    While we are celebrating Istanbul and Ankara, let's recall what is going on in many HDP-won municipalities. The difference in responses by the YSK is not something that should be ignored
